The first and greatest punishment of the sinner is the conscience of sin.
Seneca the Younger

You talk one way, you live another.

Image
Remember that pain has this most excellent quality. If prolonged it cannot be severe, and if severe it cannot be prolonged.
Seneca the Younger
Image
There is no evil that does not promise inducements. Avarice promises money luxury, a varied assortment of pleasures ambition, a purple robe and applause. Vices tempt you by the rewards they offer.
Seneca the Younger
Image
The poor are not the people with less, which is less desirable
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
Image
All things are cause for either laughter or weeping.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Image
Virtue depends partly upon training and partly upon practice you must learn first, and then strengthen your learning by action. If this be true, not only do the doctrines of wisdom help us but the precepts also, which check and banish our emotions by a sort of official decree.
Seneca the Younger
Image
It is easy enough to arouse in a listener a desire for what is honorable for in every one of us nature has laid the foundations or sown the seeds of the virtues. We are born to them all, all of us, and when a person comes along with the necessary stimulus, then those qualities of the personality are awakened, so to speak, from their slumber.
Seneca the Younger
Image
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
