More quotes by Seneca the Younger
The greatest man is he who chooses right with the most invincible resolution.
Seneca the Younger
We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with. Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them.
Seneca the Younger
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
Behold a contest worthy of a god, a brave man matched in conflict with adversity.
Seneca the Younger
Take away ambition and vanity, and where will be your heroes and patriots?
Seneca the Younger
Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.
Seneca the Younger
See what daily exercise does for one.
Seneca the Younger
He who fears from near at hand often fears less.
Seneca the Younger
Time is the one thing that is given to everyone in equal measure.
Seneca the Younger
Death falls heavily on that man who, known too well to others, dies in ignorance of himself.
Seneca the Younger
In war there is no prize for runner-up.
Seneca the Younger
The bounty of nature is too little for the greedy person.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue is nothing else than right reason
Seneca the Younger
Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness.
Seneca the Younger
Money does all things for reward. Some are pious and honest as long as they thrive upon it, but if the devil himself gives better wages, they soon change their party.
Seneca the Younger
We gain so much by quickness, and lose so much by slowness.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is more disgraceful than that an old man should have nothing to show to prove that he has lived long, except his years.
Seneca the Younger
Throughout the whole of life one must continue to learn to live and what will amaze you even more, throughout life you must learn to die. Seneca (Roman philosopher)
Seneca the Younger
Whatever is well said by another, is mine.
Seneca the Younger
Humanity is fortunate, because no man is unhappy except by his own fault.
Seneca the Younger
