More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Virtue depends partly upon training and partly upon practice you must learn first, and then strengthen your learning by actions.
Seneca the Younger
We deliberate about the parcels of life, but not about life itself, and so we arrive all unawares at its different epochs, and have the trouble of beginning all again. And so finally it is that we do not walk as men confidently towards death, but let death come suddenly upon us.
Seneca the Younger
He that will do no good offices after a disappointment must stand still, and do just nothing at all. The plough goes on after a barren year and while the ashes are yet warm, we raise a new house upon the ruins of a former.
Seneca the Younger
The gladiator is formulating his plan in the arena or essentially Too late.
Seneca the Younger
Refrain from following the example of those whose craving is for attention, not their own improvement.
Seneca the Younger
Life's neither a good nor an evil: it's a field for good and evil.
Seneca the Younger
Other men's sins are before our eyes our own are behind our backs.
Seneca the Younger
Fate rules the affairs of men, with no recognizable order.
Seneca the Younger
May be is very well, but Must is the master. It is my duty to show justice without recompense.
Seneca the Younger
He who does not prevent a crime, when he can, encourages it.
Seneca the Younger
A good character is the only guarantee of everlasting, carefree happiness.
Seneca the Younger
To the believers it is true. To the wise it is false. To the leaders it is useful.
Seneca the Younger
Retire into yourself as much as possible. Associate with people who are likely to improve you. Welcome those whom you are capable of improving. The process is a mutual one. People learn as they teach.
Seneca the Younger
Wisdom teaches us to do, as well as to talk and to make our words and actions all of a colour.
Seneca the Younger
For greed, all nature is too little.
Seneca the Younger
There is no fair wind for one who knows not whither he is bound.
Seneca the Younger
Just as I shall select my ship when I am about to go on a voyage, or my house when I propose to take a residence, so shall I choose my death when I am about to depart from life.
Seneca the Younger
In the meantime, cling tooth and nail to the following rule: not to give in to adversity, not to trust prosperity, and always take full note of fortune's habit of behaving just as she pleases.
Seneca the Younger
No man was ever wise by chance.
Seneca the Younger
He who forbids not sin when he may, commands it
