More quotes by Seneca the Younger
The man who does something under orders is not unhappy he is unhappy who does something against his will.
Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness does not create vice it merely brings it into view.
Seneca the Younger
When I think over what I have said, I envy dumb people.
Seneca the Younger
It is not how many books thou hast, but how good careful reading profiteth, while that which is full of variety delighteth.
Seneca the Younger
Whatsoever has exceeded its proper limit is in an unstable position.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so false as human life, nothing so treacherous. God knows no one would have accepted it as a gift, if it had not been given without our knowledge.
Seneca the Younger
A dwarf is small even if he stands on a mountain a colossus keeps his height, even if he stands in a well.
Seneca the Younger
You must linger among a limited number of master-thinkers, and digest their works, if you would derive ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind.
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
The man who spends his time choosing one resort after another in a hunt for peace and quiet will in every place he visits find something to prevent him from relaxing.
Seneca the Younger
Other men's sins are before our eyes our own are behind our backs.
Seneca the Younger
Life is short and art is long.
Seneca the Younger
To things which you bear with impatience you should accustom yourself, and, by habit you will bear them well.
Seneca the Younger
Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness.
Seneca the Younger
People do not die - they kill themselves.
Seneca the Younger
There is no easy way from the earth to the stars.
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
Ignorant people see life as either existence or non-existence, but wise men see it beyond both existence and non-existence to something that transcends them both this is an observation of the Middle Way.
Seneca the Younger
No man ever became wise by chance.
Seneca the Younger
We become wiser by adversity prosperity destroys our appreciation of the right. True happiness is ... to enjoy the present It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.
Seneca the Younger
