It is sweet to mingle tears with tears Griefs, where they wound in solitude, Wound more deeply.
Seneca the Younger
Home joys are blessed of heaven.
Seneca the Younger
A good conscience fears no witness, but a guilty conscience is solicitous even in solitude. If we do nothing but what is honest, let all the world know it. But if otherwise, what does it signify to have nobody else know it, so long as I know it myself? Miserable is he who slights that witness.
Seneca the Younger
One crime has to be concealed by another.
Seneca the Younger
It is medicine, not scenery, for which a sick man must go searching.
Seneca the Younger
Epicurus says, gratitude is a virtue that has commonly profit annexed to it. And where is the virtue that has not? But still the virtue is to be valued for itself, and not for the profit that attends it.
Seneca the Younger
Be silent as to services you have rendered, but speak of favours you have received.
Seneca the Younger
There is no power greater than true affection.
Seneca the Younger
It goes far toward making a man faithful to let him understand that you think him so and he that does but suspect I will deceive him, gives me a sort of right to do so.
Seneca the Younger
Life, if thou knowest how to use it, is long enough.
Seneca the Younger
Why does no one confess his sins? Because he is yet in them. It is for a man who has awoke from sleep to tell his dreams.
Seneca the Younger
He that by harshness of nature rules his family with an iron hand is as truly a tyrant as he who misgoverns a nation.
Seneca the Younger
The fear of war is worse than war itself.
Seneca the Younger
