More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness.
Seneca the Younger
There is no easy way from the earth to the stars.
Seneca the Younger
Hardly a man will you find who could live with his door open.
Seneca the Younger
He who has fostered the sweet poison of love by fondling it, finds it too late to refuse the yoke which he has of his own accord assumed.
Seneca the Younger
Precepts or maxims are of great weight and a few useful ones at hand do more toward a happy life than whole volumes that we know not where to find.
Seneca the Younger
Dangerous is wrath concealed. Hatred proclaimed doth lose its chance of wreaking vengeance.
Seneca the Younger
A man who has taken your time recognises no debt yet it is the one he can never repay.
Seneca the Younger
It is safer to offend certain men than it is to oblige them for as proof that they owe nothing they seek recourse in hatred.
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
It is a youthful failing to be unable to control one's impulses.
Seneca the Younger
Time is the one thing that is given to everyone in equal measure.
Seneca the Younger
Look at the stars lighting up the sky: no one of them stays in the same place.
Seneca the Younger
You must linger among a limited number of master-thinkers, and digest their works, if you would derive ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind.
Seneca the Younger
Delay not swift the flight of fortune's greatest favours.
Seneca the Younger
Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light. Life is the wind and the rain and the thunder in the sky. Life is matter and is earth, what is and what is not, and what beyond is in Eternity.
Seneca the Younger
The whole duty of man is embraced in the two principles of abstinence and patience: temperance in prosperity, and patient courage in adversity.
Seneca the Younger
He who fears from near at hand often fears less.
Seneca the Younger
It is the property of a great and good mind to covet, not the fruit of good deeds, but good deeds themselves, and to seek for a good man even after having met with bad men.
Seneca the Younger
Authority founded on injustice is never of long duration.
Seneca the Younger
There is no evil that does not promise inducements. Avarice promises money luxury, a varied assortment of pleasures ambition, a purple robe and applause. Vices tempt you by the rewards they offer.
Seneca the Younger
