More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Ignorance is the cause of fear.
Seneca the Younger
To be able to endure odium is the first art to be learned by those who aspire to power.
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
What does reason demand of a man? A very easy thing-to live in accord with his own nature.
Seneca the Younger
He that does good to another does good also to himself, not only in the consequence but in the very act. For the consciousness of well-doing is in itself ample reward.
Seneca the Younger
Even after a bad harvest there must be sowing.
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
Expediency often silences justice.
Seneca the Younger
A person's fears are lighter when the danger is at hand.
Seneca the Younger
Anger is like a ruin, which, in falling upon its victim, breaks itself to pieces.
Seneca the Younger
The man who spends his time choosing one resort after another in a hunt for peace and quiet will in every place he visits find something to prevent him from relaxing.
Seneca the Younger
Time is the greatest remedy for anger.
Seneca the Younger
As Lucretius says: 'Thus ever from himself doth each man flee.' But what does he gain if he does not escape from himself? He ever follows himself and weighs upon himself as his own most burdensome companion. And so we ought to understand that what we struggle with is the fault, not of the places, but of ourselves
Seneca the Younger
The body is not a permanent dwelling, but a sort of inn which is to be left behind when one perceives that one is a burden to the host.
Seneca the Younger
Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness.
Seneca the Younger
Whom they have injured they also hate.
Seneca the Younger
Be not dazzled by beauty, but look for those inward qualities which are lasting.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever has overstepped its due bounds is always in a state of instability.
Seneca the Younger
Shame may restrain what law does not prohibit.
Seneca the Younger
It is impossible to imagine anything which better becomes a ruler than mercy.
Seneca the Younger
