You talk one way, you live another.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
As gratitude is a necessary, and a glorious virtue, so also it is an obvious, a cheap, and an easy one so obvious that wherever there is life there is a place for it so cheap, that the covetous man may be gratified without expense, and so easy that the sluggard may be so likewise without labor.
Seneca the Younger
No man esteems anything that comes to him by chance but when it is governed by reason, it brings credit both to the giver and receiver whereas those favors are in some sort scandalous that make a man ashamed of his patron.
Seneca the Younger
We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.
Seneca the Younger
The more violent the storm the sooner it is over.
Seneca the Younger
Self-denial is the best riches.
Seneca the Younger
A troubled countenance oft discloses much.
Seneca the Younger
