More quotes by 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
I will have a care of being a slave to myself, for it is a perpetual, a shameful, and the heaviest of all servitudes and this may be done by moderate desires.
Seneca the Younger
A well-governed appetite is a great part of liberty
Seneca the Younger
It is only the surprise and newness of the thing which makes that misfortune terrible which by premeditation might be made easy to us. For that which some people make light by sufferance, others do by foresight.
Seneca the Younger
A man who suffers or stresses before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary
Seneca the Younger
To things which you bear with impatience you should accustom yourself, and, by habit you will bear them well.
Seneca the Younger
The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Seneca the Younger
Eternal law has arranged nothing better than this, that it has given us one way in to life, but many ways out.
Seneca the Younger
We should every night call ourselves to an account: What infirmity have I mastered today? What passions opposed? What temptation resisted? What virtue acquired? Our vices will abate of themselves if they be brought every day to the shrift.
Seneca the Younger
Anger is like a ruin, which, in falling upon its victim, breaks itself to pieces.
Seneca the Younger
A thing seriously pursued affords true enjoyment.
Seneca the Younger
The mind is never right but when it is at peace within itself the soul is in heaven even while it is in the flesh, if it be purged of its natural corruptions, and taken up with divine thoughts, and contemplations.
Seneca the Younger
The worst evil of all is to leave the ranks of the living before one dies.
Seneca the Younger
Man is a reasoning Animal.
Seneca the Younger
He who would do great things should not attempt them all alone.
Seneca the Younger
He who boasts of his descent, praises the deed of another.
Seneca the Younger
Truths open to everyone, and the claims aren't all staked yet.
Seneca the Younger
We should give as we would receive, cheerfully, quickly, and without hesitation for there is no grace in a benefit that sticks to the fingers.
Seneca the Younger
Humanity is fortunate, because no man is unhappy except by his own fault.
Seneca the Younger
Indolence is stagnation employment is life.
Seneca the Younger
