More quotes by Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

As the soil, however rich it may be, cannot be productive without cultivation, so the mind without culture can never produce good fruit
Seneca the Younger
We haven't time to spare to hear whether it was between Italy and Sicily that he ran into a storm or somewhere outside the world we know-when every day we're running into our own storms, spiritual storms, and driven by vice into all the troubles that Ulysses ever knew.
Seneca the Younger
Whatsoever has exceeded its proper limit is in an unstable position.
Seneca the Younger
Praise thyself never.
Seneca the Younger
One hand washes the other.
Seneca the Younger
Learn how to feel joy.
Seneca the Younger
