Seneca the Younger
Four things does a reckless man gain who covets his neighbor's wife - demerit, an uncomfortable bed, thirdly, punishment, and lastly, hell.
Seneca the Younger
Nemo tam divos habuit faventes, Crastinum ut possit sibi polliceri. Nobody has ever found the gods so much his friends that he can promise himself another day.
Seneca the Younger
How great would be our peril if our slaves began to number us!
Seneca the Younger
Good sides to adversity are best admired at a distance.
Seneca the Younger
He who does not prevent a crime, when he can, encourages it.

On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!
Seneca the Younger
The philosopher: he alone knows how to live for himself. He is the one, in fact, who knows the fundamental thing: how to live.
Seneca the Younger
He may as well not thank at all, who thanks when none are by.
Seneca the Younger

However wretched a fellow-mortal may be, he is still a member of our common species.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Man is a reasoning Animal.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Time is the one thing that is given to everyone in equal measure.
Seneca the Younger
Our (the Stoic) motto, as you know, is live according to nature.
Seneca the Younger
In a moment the ashes are made, but a forest is a long time growing.
Seneca the Younger
No man esteems anything that comes to him by chance but when it is governed by reason, it brings credit both to the giver and receiver whereas those favors are in some sort scandalous that make a man ashamed of his patron.
Seneca the Younger
Solitude and company may be allowed to take their turns: the one creates in us the love of mankind, the other that of ourselves solitude relieves us when we are sick of company, and conversation when we are weary of being alone, so that the one cures the other. There is no man so miserable as he that is at a loss how to use his time
Seneca the Younger
No man finds it difficult to return to nature except the man who has deserted nature.
Seneca the Younger
