More quotes by Seneca the Younger
It is the fault of youth that it cannot restrain its own impetuosity.
Seneca the Younger
That moderation which nature prescribes, which limits our desires by resources restricted to our needs, has abandoned the field it has now come to this -- that to want only what is enough is a sign both of boorishness and of utter destitution.
Seneca the Younger
Do everything as in the eye of another.
Seneca the Younger
Cling tooth and nail to the following rule: Not to give in to adversity, never to trust prosperity, and always to take full note of fortune's habit of behaving just as she pleases, treating her as if she were actually going to do everything it is in her power to do. Whatever you have been expecting for some time comes as less of a shock.
Seneca the Younger
Every one has time if he likes. Business runs after nobody: people cling to it of their own free will and think that to be busy is a proof of happiness.
Seneca the Younger
The expression of truth is simplicity.
Seneca the Younger
Disease is not of the body but of the place.
Seneca the Younger
A dwarf can stand on a mountain, he's no taller.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
He will live ill who does not know how to die well.
Seneca the Younger
Successful crime is dignified with the name of virtue the good become the slaves of the wicked might makes right fear silences the power of the law.
Seneca the Younger
If you judge, investigate.
Seneca the Younger
No one can be happy who has been thrust outside the pale of truth. And there are two ways that one can be removed from this realm: by lying, or by being lied to.
Seneca the Younger
He who boasts of his descent, praises the deed of another.
Seneca the Younger
While you teach, you learn.
Seneca the Younger
Whenever the speech is corrupted so is the mind.
Seneca the Younger
Those who boast of their descent, brag on what they owe to others.
Seneca the Younger
Men learn while they teach.
Seneca the Younger
Life without the courage for death is slavery.
Seneca the Younger
Death is a release from and an end of all pains.
Seneca the Younger
