More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Wisdom does not show itself so much in precept as in life - in firmness of mind and a mastery of appetite. It teaches us to do as well as to talk and to make our words and actions all of a color.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so false as human life, nothing so treacherous. God knows no one would have accepted it as a gift, if it had not been given without our knowledge.
Seneca the Younger
Auditur et altera pars. (The other side shall be heard as well.)
Seneca the Younger
The poor are not the people with less, which is less desirable
Seneca the Younger
Beauty is such a fleeting blossom, how can wisdom rely upon its momentary delight?
Seneca the Younger
In every good man a God doth dwell.
Seneca the Younger
Every one has time if he likes. Business runs after nobody: people cling to it of their own free will and think that to be busy is a proof of happiness.
Seneca the Younger
We sought therefore to amend our will, and not to suffer it through despite to languish long time in error.
Seneca the Younger
Full of men, vacant of friends.
Seneca the Younger
Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light. Life is the wind and the rain and the thunder in the sky. Life is matter and is earth, what is and what is not, and what beyond is in Eternity.
Seneca the Younger
Anyone can stop a man's life, but no one his death a thousand doors open on to it.
Seneca the Younger
Freedom can't be bought for nothing. If you hold her precious, you must hold all else of little worth.
Seneca the Younger
A physician is not angry at the intemperance of a mad patient, nor does he take it ill to be railed at by a man in fever. Just so should a wise man treat all mankind, as a physician does his patient, and look upon them only as sick and extravagant.
Seneca the Younger
Extreme remedies are never the first to be resorted to.
Seneca the Younger
He who forbids not sin when he may, commands it
Seneca the Younger
Let us not seek our disease out of ourselves 'tis in us, and planted in our bowels and the mere fact that we do not perceive ourselves to be sick, renders us more hard to be cured.
Seneca the Younger
Calamity is virtue's opportunity.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever begins, also ends.
Seneca the Younger
Never to wrong others takes one a long way towards peace of mind.
Seneca the Younger
We are as answerable for what we give as for what we receive nay, the misplacing of a benefit is worse than the not receiving of it for the one is another person's fault, but the other is mine.
Seneca the Younger
