More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Pain, scorned by yonder gout-ridden wretch, endured by yonder dyspeptic in the midst of his dainties, borne bravely by the girl in travail. Slight thou art, if I can bear thee, short thou art if I cannot bear thee!
Seneca the Younger
Friendship always benefits love sometimes injures.
Seneca the Younger
Epicurus says, gratitude is a virtue that has commonly profit annexed to it. And where is the virtue that has not? But still the virtue is to be valued for itself, and not for the profit that attends it.
Seneca the Younger
Light griefs are plaintive , but great ones are dumb
Seneca the Younger
Time is the one thing that is given to everyone in equal measure.
Seneca the Younger
It is only the surprise and newness of the thing which makes that misfortune terrible which by premeditation might be made easy to us. For that which some people make light by sufferance, others do by foresight.
Seneca the Younger
A favor is to a grateful man delightful always to an ungrateful man only once.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing in the world so much admired as a man who knows how to bear unhappiness with courage.
Seneca the Younger
You should keep on learning as long as there is something you do not know.
Seneca the Younger
To preserve the life of citizens, is the greatest virtue in the father of his country.
Seneca the Younger
It does not matter how many books you have, but how good the books are which you have.
Seneca the Younger
The first proof of a well-ordered mind is to be able to pause and linger within itself.
Seneca the Younger
Corporeal punishment falls far more heavily than most weighty pecuniary penalty.
Seneca the Younger
You learn to know a pilot in a storm.
Seneca the Younger
Praise thyself never.
Seneca the Younger
Fire proves gold, adversity proves men.
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
He may as well not thank at all, who thanks when none are by.
Seneca the Younger
It passes in the world for greatness of mind, to be perpetually giving and loading people with bounties but it is one thing to know how to give and another thing not to know how to keep. Give me a heart that is easy and open, but I will have no holes in it let it be bountiful with judgment, but I will have nothing run out of it I know not how.
Seneca the Younger
He who receives a benefit with gratitude, repays the first installment of it.
Seneca the Younger
