More quotes by Seneca the Younger
If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The expression of truth is simplicity.
Seneca the Younger
Man's ideal state is realized when he has fulfilled the purpose for which he is born. And what is it that reason demands of him? Something very easy-that he live in accordance with his own nature.
Seneca the Younger
We learn not in the school, but in life.
Seneca the Younger
Trifling trouble find utterance deeply felt pangs are silent.
Seneca the Younger
Nihil tam acerbum est in quo non æquus animus solatium inveniat. There is nothing so disagreeable, that a patient mind can not find some solace for it.
Seneca the Younger
Throughout the whole of life one must continue to learn to live and what will amaze you even more, throughout life you must learn to die. Seneca (Roman philosopher)

Seneca the Younger
Let the weary at length possess quiet rest.
Seneca the Younger
Why does no one confess his sins? Because he is yet in them. It is for a man who has awoke from sleep to tell his dreams.
Seneca the Younger
Hardly a man will you find who could live with his door open.
Seneca the Younger
When thou hast profited so much that thou respectest even thyself, thou mayst let go thy tutor.
Seneca the Younger
Anger is like those ruins which smash themselves on what they fall.
Seneca the Younger
There's one blessing only, the source and cornerstone of beatitude: confidence in self.
Seneca the Younger
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
Seneca the Younger
