More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Crime requires further crime to conceal it.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man then followed a simple way of life-which is hardly surprising when you consider how even in this modern age he seeks to be as little encumbered as he possibly can.
Seneca the Younger
Many person might have achieved wisdom had they not supposed that they already possessed it.
Seneca the Younger
In a moment the ashes are made, but a forest is a long time growing.
Seneca the Younger
Fidelity bought with money is overcome by money.
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
For greed, all nature is too little.
Seneca the Younger
The expression of truth is simplicity.
Seneca the Younger
Nemo tam divos habuit faventes, Crastinum ut possit sibi polliceri. Nobody has ever found the gods so much his friends that he can promise himself another day.
Seneca the Younger
We gain so much by quickness, and lose so much by slowness.
Seneca the Younger
All my life I have been seeking to climb out of the pit of my besetting sins and I cannot do it and I never will unless a hand is let down to draw me up.
Seneca the Younger
Beauty is such a fleeting blossom, how can wisdom rely upon its momentary delight?
Seneca the Younger
The state of that man's mind who feels too intense an interest as to future events, must be most deplorable.
Seneca the Younger
Who can hope for nothing, should despair for nothing.
Seneca the Younger
The approach of liberty makes even an old man brave.
Seneca the Younger
No evil is without its compensation. The less money, the less trouble the less favor, the less envy. Even in those cases which put us out of wits, it is not the loss itself, but the estimate of the loss that troubles us.
Seneca the Younger
God never repents of what He has first resolved upon.
Seneca the Younger
While we wait for life, life passes
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing more miserable and foolish than anticipation.
Seneca the Younger
Philosophy alone makes the mind invincible, and places us out of the reach of fortune, so that all her arrows fall short of us.
Seneca the Younger
