Seneca the Younger
What-so-ever the mind has ordained for itself, it has achieved
Seneca the Younger
That which has been endured with difficulty is remedied with delight.

Injustice never rules forever.
Seneca the Younger
We suffer more often in imagination than in reality. [We must learn to control and focus the force of our imagination on the good, bright side so it is positive and constructive helping ourselves and others, rather than let its force focus on the bad, dark side so it is negative and destructive hurting ourselves and others!]
Seneca the Younger
To be enslaved to oneself is the heaviest of all servitudes.-

Misfortunes, in fine, cannot be avoided but they may be sweetened, if not overcome, and our lives made happy by philosophy.
Seneca the Younger
You want to live-but do you know how to live? You are scared of dying-and, tell me, is the kind of life you lead really any different from being dead?
Seneca the Younger
You have to persevere and fortify your pertinacity until the will to good becomes a disposition to good.
Seneca the Younger
It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much. ... The life we receive is not short but we make it so we are not ill provided but use what we have wastefully.
Seneca the Younger
We learn not for life but for the debating-room.
Seneca the Younger
He who is brave is free.
Seneca the Younger
There is a noble manner of being poor, and who does not know it will never be rich.
Seneca the Younger
It is a world of mischief that may be done by a single example of avarice or luxury. One voluptuous palate makes many more.
Seneca the Younger
Men practice war beasts do not.
Seneca the Younger
Man is a reasoning Animal.
Seneca the Younger
It is the mind that makes us rich and happy, in what condition soever we are, and money signifies no more to it than it does to the gods.
Seneca the Younger
It is easy enough to arouse in a listener a desire for what is honorable for in every one of us nature has laid the foundations or sown the seeds of the virtues. We are born to them all, all of us, and when a person comes along with the necessary stimulus, then those qualities of the personality are awakened, so to speak, from their slumber.
Seneca the Younger
I have withdrawn not only from men, but from affairs, especially my own affairs I am working for later generations, writing down some ideas that may be of assistance to them.
Seneca the Younger
