More quotes by Seneca the Younger
If ever you come upon a grove of ancient trees which have grown to an exceptional height, shutting out a view of sky by a veil of pleached and intertwining branches, then the loftiness of the forest, the seclusion of the spot and your marvel at the thick unbroken shade in the midst of the open spaces, will prove to you the presence of deity.
Seneca the Younger
The person you are matters more than the place to which you go.
Seneca the Younger
Slavery holds few men fast the greater number hold fast their slavery.
Seneca the Younger
He, who will not pardon others, must not himself expect pardon.
Seneca the Younger
It is the property of a great and good mind to covet, not the fruit of good deeds, but good deeds themselves, and to seek for a good man even after having met with bad men.
Seneca the Younger
Associate with people who are likely to improve you.
Seneca the Younger
There is no genius without a mixture of madness.
Seneca the Younger
Nature has made us passive, and to suffer is our lot. While we are in the flesh every man has his chain and his clog only it is looser and lighter to one man than to another, and he is more at ease who takes it up and carries it than he who drags it.
Seneca the Younger
Even after a bad harvest there must be sowing.
Seneca the Younger
The anger of those in authority is always weighty.
Seneca the Younger
It is easier to grow in dignity than to make a start.
Seneca the Younger
Calamity is virtue's opportunity.
Seneca the Younger
Whatsoever has exceeded its proper limit is in an unstable position.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so false as human life, nothing so treacherous. God knows no one would have accepted it as a gift, if it had not been given without our knowledge.
Seneca the Younger
Not to feel one's misfortunes is not human, not to bear them is not manly.
Seneca the Younger
Enjoy present pleasures in such a way as not to injure future ones.
Seneca the Younger
We have lost morals, justice, honor, piety and faith, and that sense of shame which, once lost, can never be restored.
Seneca the Younger
He who boasts of his pedigree praises that which does not belong to him.
Seneca the Younger
The Fates guide those who go willingly. Those who do not, they drag.
Seneca the Younger
That loss is most discreditable which is caused by negligence.
Seneca the Younger
