More quotes by Seneca the Younger
The thing that matters is not what you bear, but how you bear it
Seneca the Younger
We become wiser by adversity prosperity destroys our appreciation of the right. True happiness is ... to enjoy the present It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.
Seneca the Younger
Life is a gift of the immortal Gods, but living well is the gift of philosophy.
Seneca the Younger
Simple is the language of truth.
Seneca the Younger
Anger, though concealed, is betrayed by the countenance. ?That anger is not warrantable which hath seen two suns.
Seneca the Younger
Our minds must relax: they will rise better and keener after rest. Just as you must not force fertile farmland, as uninterrupted productivity will soon exhaust it, so constant effort will sap our mental vigour, while a short period of rest and relaxation will restore our powers. Unremitting effort leads to a kind of mental dullness and lethargy.
Seneca the Younger
It is rash to condemn where you are ignorant.
Seneca the Younger
What must be shall be and that which is a necessity to him that struggles, is little more than choice to him that is willing.
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
The state of that man's mind who feels too intense an interest as to future events, must be most deplorable.
Seneca the Younger
He may as well not thank at all, who thanks when none are by.
Seneca the Younger
We deliberate about the parcels of life, but not about life itself, and so we arrive all unawares at its different epochs, and have the trouble of beginning all again. And so finally it is that we do not walk as men confidently towards death, but let death come suddenly upon us.
Seneca the Younger
Nobody becomes guilty by fate.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing after death, and death itself is nothing.
Seneca the Younger
He is a king who fears nothing, he is a king who desires nothing!
Seneca the Younger
Humanity is fortunate, because no man is unhappy except by his own fault.
Seneca the Younger
Let ease and rest at times be given to the weary.
Seneca the Younger
Vice may be learnt, even without a teacher
Seneca the Younger
Light griefs do speak, while sorrow's tongue is bound.
Seneca the Younger
Those who boast of their descent, brag on what they owe to others.
Seneca the Younger
