Seneca the Younger
A good mind is a lord of a kingdom.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Leisure without study is death, and the grave of a living man.
Seneca the Younger
Our life's a moment and less than a moment, but even this mite nature has mockingly humored with some appearance of a longer span.
Seneca the Younger
He who does not prevent a crime, when he can, encourages it.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Ponder for a long time whether you shall admit a given person to your friendship but when you have decided to admit him, welcome him with all your heart and soul. Speak as boldly with him as with yourself.
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
Adversity finds at last the man whom she has often passed by.
Seneca the Younger
Poverty needs much, avarice everything.
Seneca the Younger
There is no genius without a mixture of madness.
Seneca the Younger
Call it Nature, Fate, Fortune all these are names of the one and selfsame God.
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
Luck is preparation multiplied by opportunity.
Seneca the Younger
Those alone are wise who know how to love.
Seneca the Younger
