Seneca the Younger
A foolishness is inflicted with a hatred of itself.
Seneca the Younger
What-so-ever the mind has ordained for itself, it has achieved
Seneca the Younger
No one can be happy who has been thrust outside the pale of truth. And there are two ways that one can be removed from this realm: by lying, or by being lied to.
Seneca the Younger
A consciousness of wrongdoing is the first step to salvation...you have to catch yourself doing it before you can correct it.
Seneca the Younger
What does reason demand of a man? A very easy thing-to live in accord with his own nature.
Seneca the Younger
I never come back home with the same moral character I went out with something or other becomes unsettled where I had achieved internal peace some one or other of the things I had put to flight reappears on the scene.
Seneca the Younger
