More quotes by Seneca the Younger
We should live as if we were in public view, and think, too, as if someone could peer into the inmost recesses of our hearts-which someone can!
Seneca the Younger
But it is a pretty thing to see what money will do!
Seneca the Younger
Life without the courage for death is slavery.
Seneca the Younger
It is expedient for the victor to wish for peace restored for the vanquished it is necessary.
Seneca the Younger
His head was turned by too great success.
Seneca the Younger
That loss is most discreditable which is caused by negligence.
Seneca the Younger
Gold is tried by fire, brave men by adversity.
Seneca the Younger
It is a denial of justice not to stretch out a helping hand to the fallen that is the common right of humanity.
Seneca the Younger
He that by harshness of nature rules his family with an iron hand is as truly a tyrant as he who misgoverns a nation.
Seneca the Younger
A troubled countenance oft discloses much.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing wrong with changing a plan when the situation has changed.
Seneca the Younger
Most people fancy themselves innocent of those crimes of which they cannot be convicted.
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
It passes in the world for greatness of mind, to be perpetually giving and loading people with bounties but it is one thing to know how to give and another thing not to know how to keep. Give me a heart that is easy and open, but I will have no holes in it let it be bountiful with judgment, but I will have nothing run out of it I know not how.
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
Study rather to fill your mind than your coffers knowing that gold and silver were originally mingled with dirt, until avarice or ambition parted them.
Seneca the Younger
Although a man has so well purged his mind that nothing can trouble or deceive him any more, yet he reached his present innocence through sin.
Seneca the Younger
Fate rules the affairs of men, with no recognizable order.
Seneca the Younger
Enjoy present pleasures in such a way as not to injure future ones.
Seneca the Younger
Epicurus says that you should rather have regard to the company with whom you eat and drink, than to what you eat and drink.
Seneca the Younger
