More quotes by Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Fidelity bought with money is overcome by money.
Seneca the Younger
Fate rules the affairs of men, with no recognizable order.
Seneca the Younger
The first and greatest punishment of the sinner is the conscience of sin.
Seneca the Younger
Lack of desire is the greatest riches.
Seneca the Younger
I will have a care of being a slave to myself, for it is a perpetual, a shameful, and the heaviest of all servitudes and this may be done by moderate desires.
Seneca the Younger
A physician is not angry at the intemperance of a mad patient, nor does he take it ill to be railed at by a man in fever. Just so should a wise man treat all mankind, as a physician does his patient, and look upon them only as sick and extravagant.
Seneca the Younger
Servitude seizes on few, but many seize on her.
Seneca the Younger
To be everywhere is to be nowhere.
Seneca the Younger
The mind is never right but when it is at peace within itself the soul is in heaven even while it is in the flesh, if it be purged of its natural corruptions, and taken up with divine thoughts, and contemplations.
Seneca the Younger
If you are wise, You will mingle one thing with the other- Not hoping without doubt Not doubting without hope.
Seneca the Younger
Our life's a moment and less than a moment, but even this mite nature has mockingly humored with some appearance of a longer span.
Seneca the Younger
The man who has learned to triumph over sorrow wears his miseries as though they were sacred fillets upon his brow and nothing is so entirely admirable as a man bravely wretched.
Seneca the Younger
He grieves more than is necessary who grieves before any cause for sorrow has arisen.
Seneca the Younger
The most onerous slavery is to be a slave to oneself.
Seneca the Younger
He who seeks wisdom is a wise man he who thinks he has found it is mad.
Seneca the Younger
Life is divided into three periods: that which has been, that which is, that which will be. Of these the present is short, the future is doubtful, the past is certain.
Seneca the Younger
People do not die - they kill themselves.
Seneca the Younger
