More quotes by Seneca the Younger
There is no genius without a mixture of madness.
Seneca the Younger
You can tell the character of every man when you see how he receives praise.
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
He is a king who fears nothing, he is a king who desires nothing!
Seneca the Younger
A great step toward independence is a good-humoured stomach.
Seneca the Younger
Fortune may rob us of our wealth, not of our courage.
Seneca the Younger
As for old age, embrace and love it. It abounds with pleasure if you know how to use it. The gradually declining years are among the sweetest in a man's life, and I maintain that, even when they have reached the extreme limit, they have their pleasure still.
Seneca the Younger
Extreme remedies are never the first to be resorted to.
Seneca the Younger
The first and greatest punishment of the sinner is the conscience of sin.
Seneca the Younger
If you are surprised at the number of our maladies, count our cooks.
Seneca the Younger
I will govern my life and thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one and read the other, for what does it signify to make anything a secret to my neighbor, when to God, who is the searcher of our hearts, all our privacies are open?
Seneca the Younger
Do you desire not to be angry? Be not inquisitive. He who inquires what is said of him only works out his own misery.
Seneca the Younger
Philosophy is the health of the mind.
Seneca the Younger
Trifling trouble find utterance deeply felt pangs are silent.
Seneca the Younger
He grieves more than is necessary who grieves before any cause for sorrow has arisen.
Seneca the Younger
Authority founded on injustice is never of long duration.
Seneca the Younger
While we teach, we learn.
Seneca the Younger
So live with an inferior as you would wish a superior to live with you.
Seneca the Younger
This life is only a prelude to eternity.
Seneca the Younger
Ignorance is the cause of fear.
Seneca the Younger
