More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Whenever the speech is corrupted so is the mind.
Seneca the Younger
Friendship always benefits love sometimes injures.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man lives as long as he should, not just as long as he likes.
Seneca the Younger
The greatest hindrance to living is expectancy, which depends upon tomorrow and wastes today
Seneca the Younger
The evil which assails us is not in the localities we inhabit but in ourselves.
Seneca the Younger
The fear of war is worse than war itself.
Seneca the Younger
The many speak highly of you, but have you really any grounds for satisfaction with yourself if you are the kind of person the many understand?
Seneca the Younger
True friends are the whole world to one another and he that is a friend to himself is also a friend to mankind. Even in my studies the greatest delight I take is of imparting it to others for there is no relish to me in the possessing of anything without a partner.
Seneca the Younger
The person you are matters more than the place to which you go.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Dangerous is wrath concealed. Hatred proclaimed doth lose its chance of wreaking vengeance.
Seneca the Younger
It is often better not to see an insult than to avenge it.
Seneca the Younger
He, who will not pardon others, must not himself expect pardon.
Seneca the Younger
Adversity finds at last the man whom she has often passed by.
Seneca the Younger
We are more easily led part by part to an understanding of the whole. -Facilius per partes in cognitionem totius adducimur
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
We must take care to live not merely a long life, but a full one for living a long life requires only good fortune, but living a full life requires character. Long is the life that is fully lived it is fulfilled only when the mind supplies its own good qualities and empowers itself from within.
Seneca the Younger
Just as so many rivers, so many showers of rain from above, so many medicinal springs do not alter the taste of the sea, so the pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man. For it maintains its balance, and over all that happens it throws its own complexion, because it is more powerful than external circumstances.
Seneca the Younger
The path of precept is long, that of example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
