More quotes by Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Those alone are wise who know how to love.
Seneca the Younger

The articulate, trained voice is more distracting than mere noise.
Seneca the Younger
All art is but imitation of nature.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
There is nothing wrong with changing a plan when the situation has changed.
Seneca the Younger
It is sometimes pleasant even to act like a madman.
Seneca the Younger
Some cures are worse than the dangers they combat.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue needs a director and guide. Vice can be learned even without a teacher.
Seneca the Younger
He may as well not thank at all, who thanks when none are by.
Seneca the Younger
Know thyself this is the great object.
Seneca the Younger
