More quotes by Seneca the Younger
There is no fair wind for one who knows not whither he is bound.
Seneca the Younger
For what else is Nature but God and the Divine Reason that pervades the whole universe and all its parts.
Seneca the Younger
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.
Seneca the Younger
Not to feel one's misfortunes is not human, not to bear them is not manly.
Seneca the Younger
He that will do no good offices after a disappointment must stand still, and do just nothing at all. The plough goes on after a barren year and while the ashes are yet warm, we raise a new house upon the ruins of a former.
Seneca the Younger
A favor is to a grateful man delightful always to an ungrateful man only once.
Seneca the Younger
We should live as if we were in public view, and think, too, as if someone could peer into the inmost recesses of our hearts-which someone can!
Seneca the Younger
What you think is the summit is only a step up
Seneca the Younger
These individulas have riches just as we say that we 'have a fever,' when really the fever has us.
Seneca the Younger
It does not matter how many books you have, but how good the books are which you have.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing more despicable than an old man who has no other proof than his age to offer of his having lived long in the world.
Seneca the Younger
We haven't time to spare to hear whether it was between Italy and Sicily that he ran into a storm or somewhere outside the world we know-when every day we're running into our own storms, spiritual storms, and driven by vice into all the troubles that Ulysses ever knew.
Seneca the Younger
I have withdrawn not only from men, but from affairs, especially my own affairs I am working for later generations, writing down some ideas that may be of assistance to them.
Seneca the Younger
We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with. Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them.
Seneca the Younger
We should give as we would receive, cheerfully, quickly, and without hesitation for there is no grace in a benefit that sticks to the fingers.
Seneca the Younger
You can tell the character of every man when you see how he receives praise.
Seneca the Younger
Let us say what we feel, and feel what we say let speech harmonize with life.
Seneca the Younger
Abstinence is easier than temperance.
Seneca the Younger
Let him who has granted a favour speak not of it let him who has received one, proclaim it.
Seneca the Younger
He will live ill who does not know how to die well.
Seneca the Younger
