More quotes by Seneca the Younger
A good conscience fears no witness, but a guilty conscience is solicitous even in solitude. If we do nothing but what is honest, let all the world know it. But if otherwise, what does it signify to have nobody else know it, so long as I know it myself? Miserable is he who slights that witness.
Seneca the Younger
Why do I not seek some real good one which I could feel, not one which I could display?
Seneca the Younger
Never to wrong others takes one a long way towards peace of mind.
Seneca the Younger
The first petition that we are to make to Almighty God is for a good conscience, the next for health of mind, and then of body.
Seneca the Younger
Let him who has given a favor be silent let he who has received it tell it.
Seneca the Younger
Ponder for a long time whether you shall admit a given person to your friendship but when you have decided to admit him, welcome him with all your heart and soul. Speak as boldly with him as with yourself.
Seneca the Younger
Whom they have injured they also hate.
Seneca the Younger
There are more people abusive to others than lie open to abuse themselves but the humor goes round, and he that laughs at me today will have somebody to laugh at him tomorrow.
Seneca the Younger
The book-keeping of benefits is simple: it is all expenditure if any one returns it, that is clear gain if he does not return it, it is not lost, I gave it for the sake of giving.
Seneca the Younger
Adversity finds at last the man whom she has often passed by.
Seneca the Younger
The deferring of anger is the best antidote to anger.
Seneca the Younger
Loyalty is the holiest good in the human heart.
Seneca the Younger
We should have a bond of sympathy for all sentient beings, knowing that only the depraved and base take pleasure in the sight of blood and suffering.
Seneca the Younger
Retirement without literary amusements is death itself, and a living tomb.
Seneca the Younger
We must take care to live not merely a long life, but a full one for living a long life requires only good fortune, but living a full life requires character. Long is the life that is fully lived it is fulfilled only when the mind supplies its own good qualities and empowers itself from within.
Seneca the Younger
Luck is preparation multiplied by opportunity.
Seneca the Younger
When modesty has once perished, it will never revive.
Seneca the Younger
Just as so many rivers, so many showers of rain from above, so many medicinal springs do not alter the taste of the sea, so the pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man. For it maintains its balance, and over all that happens it throws its own complexion, because it is more powerful than external circumstances.
Seneca the Younger
The physician cannot prescribe by letter, he must feel the pulse.
Seneca the Younger
That comes too late that comes for the asking.
Seneca the Younger
