More quotes by Seneca the Younger
No evil is without its compensation. The less money, the less trouble the less favor, the less envy. Even in those cases which put us out of wits, it is not the loss itself, but the estimate of the loss that troubles us.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever has overstepped its due bounds is always in a state of instability.
Seneca the Younger
Refuse to let the thought of death bother you: nothing is grim when we have escaped that fear.
Seneca the Younger
Whenever the speech is corrupted so is the mind.
Seneca the Younger
Such is the blindness, nay the insanity of mankind, that some men are driven to death by the fear of it.
Seneca the Younger
Why does no one confess his sins? Because he is yet in them. It is for a man who has awoke from sleep to tell his dreams.
Seneca the Younger
He that does good to another does good also to himself, not only in the consequence but in the very act. For the consciousness of well-doing is in itself ample reward.
Seneca the Younger
Most people fancy themselves innocent of those crimes of which they cannot be convicted.
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
Nothing is so wretched or foolish as to anticipate misfortunes. What madness it is to be expecting evil before it comes.
Seneca the Younger
So enjoy the pleasures of the hour as not to spoil those that are to follow.
Seneca the Younger
A dwarf can stand on a mountain, he's no taller.
Seneca the Younger
That which has been endured with difficulty is remedied with delight.
Seneca the Younger
Every change of place becomes a delight.
Seneca the Younger
Let the man, who would be grateful, think of repaying a kindness, even while receiving it.
Seneca the Younger
The mind that is anxious about future events is miserable.
Seneca the Younger
When modesty has once perished, it will never revive.
Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness does not create vice it merely brings it into view.
Seneca the Younger
Persistent kindness conquers the ill-disposed.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man lives as long as he should, not just as long as he likes.
Seneca the Younger
