More quotes by Seneca the Younger
There is nothing wrong with changing a plan when the situation has changed.
Seneca the Younger
Our minds must relax: they will rise better and keener after rest. Just as you must not force fertile farmland, as uninterrupted productivity will soon exhaust it, so constant effort will sap our mental vigour, while a short period of rest and relaxation will restore our powers. Unremitting effort leads to a kind of mental dullness and lethargy.
Seneca the Younger
Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness. The things that are essential are acquired with little bother it is the luxuries that call for toil and effort. To want simply what is enough nowadays suggests to people primitiveness and squalor.
Seneca the Younger
Those who boast of their descent, brag on what they owe to others.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
A thousand approaches lie open to death.
Seneca the Younger
While we teach, we learn.
