Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
A good conscience fears no witness, but a guilty conscience is solicitous even in solitude. If we do nothing but what is honest, let all the world know it. But if otherwise, what does it signify to have nobody else know it, so long as I know it myself? Miserable is he who slights that witness.
Seneca the Younger
The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.

Seneca the Younger
One crime has to be concealed by another.
Seneca the Younger
Diligence is a very great help even to a mediocre intelligence. -Diligentia maximum etiam mediocris ingeni subsidium
Seneca the Younger
Consider, when you are enraged at any one, what you would probably think if he should die during the dispute.
Seneca the Younger
True love hates and will not bear delay.
Seneca the Younger
It does not matter how many books you have, but how good the books are which you have.
Seneca the Younger
Money has never yet made anyone rich.
Seneca the Younger
