More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Ignorance is the cause of fear.
Seneca the Younger
Remember that pain has this most excellent quality. If prolonged it cannot be severe, and if severe it cannot be prolonged.
Seneca the Younger
The first step towards amendment is the recognition of error.
Seneca the Younger
Many shed tears merely for show, and have dry eyes when no one's around to observe them.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so false as human life, nothing so treacherous. God knows no one would have accepted it as a gift, if it had not been given without our knowledge.
Seneca the Younger
Good sides to adversity are best admired at a distance.
Seneca the Younger
Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Give up no science entirely for science is but one.
Seneca the Younger
All my life I have been seeking to climb out of the pit of my besetting sins and I cannot do it and I never will unless a hand is let down to draw me up.
Seneca the Younger
Necessity is stronger than duty.
Seneca the Younger
Expediency often silences justice.
Seneca the Younger
Fortune may rob us of our wealth, not of our courage.
Seneca the Younger
The spirit in which a thing is given determines that in which the debt is acknowledged it's the intention, not the face-value of the gift, that's weighed.
Seneca the Younger
Those alone are wise who know how to love.
Seneca the Younger
Auditur et altera pars. (The other side shall be heard as well.)
Seneca the Younger
Men love their country, not because it is great, but because it is their own.
Seneca the Younger
Friendship always benefits love sometimes injures.
Seneca the Younger
Retirement without literary amusements is death itself, and a living tomb.
Seneca the Younger
Do everything as in the eye of another.
Seneca the Younger
It is a youthful failing to be unable to control one's impulses.
Seneca the Younger
Refuse to let the thought of death bother you: nothing is grim when we have escaped that fear.
Seneca the Younger
