More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Crime requires further crime to conceal it.
Seneca the Younger
We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.
Seneca the Younger
Calamity is virtue's opportunity.
Seneca the Younger
Refrain from following the example of those whose craving is for attention, not their own improvement.
Seneca the Younger
Just where death is expecting you is something we cannot know so, for your part, expect him everywhere.
Seneca the Younger
There is no evil that does not promise inducements. Avarice promises money luxury, a varied assortment of pleasures ambition, a purple robe and applause. Vices tempt you by the rewards they offer.
Seneca the Younger
Unjust dominion cannot be eternal.
Seneca the Younger
Speech is the mirror of the mind.
Seneca the Younger
Just as so many rivers, so many showers of rain from above, so many medicinal springs do not alter the taste of the sea, so the pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man. For it maintains its balance, and over all that happens it throws its own complexion, because it is more powerful than external circumstances.
Seneca the Younger
It is medicine, not scenery, for which a sick man must go searching.
Seneca the Younger
Life, if thou knowest how to use it, is long enough.
Seneca the Younger
Wisdom does not show itself so much in precept as in life - in firmness of mind and a mastery of appetite. It teaches us to do as well as to talk and to make our words and actions all of a color.
Seneca the Younger
Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.
Seneca the Younger
A thousand approaches lie open to death.
Seneca the Younger
Let not the enjoyment of pleasures now within your grasp, be carried to such excess as to incapacitate you from future repetition.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue with some is nothing but successful temerity.
Seneca the Younger
Economy is in itself a great source of revenue.
Seneca the Younger
Great is he who enjoys his earthenware as if it were plate, and not less great is the man to whom all his plate is no more that earthenware.
Seneca the Younger
There is no power greater than true affection.
Seneca the Younger
To be everywhere is to be nowhere.
Seneca the Younger
