More quotes by Seneca the Younger
As for old age, embrace and love it. It abounds with pleasure if you know how to use it. The gradually declining years are among the sweetest in a man's life, and I maintain that, even when they have reached the extreme limit, they have their pleasure still.
Seneca the Younger
As Lucretius says: 'Thus ever from himself doth each man flee.' But what does he gain if he does not escape from himself? He ever follows himself and weighs upon himself as his own most burdensome companion. And so we ought to understand that what we struggle with is the fault, not of the places, but of ourselves
Seneca the Younger
Our fears are always more numerous than our dangers.
Seneca the Younger
Loyalty is the holiest good in the human heart.
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
Wisdom teaches us to do, as well as to talk and to make our words and actions all of a colour.
Seneca the Younger
Ponder for a long time whether you shall admit a given person to your friendship but when you have decided to admit him, welcome him with all your heart and soul. Speak as boldly with him as with yourself.
Seneca the Younger
The velocity with which time flies is infinite, as is most apparent to those who look back.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever begins, also ends.
Seneca the Younger
Successful crime is dignified with the name of virtue the good become the slaves of the wicked might makes right fear silences the power of the law.
Seneca the Younger
No man ever became wise by chance.
Seneca the Younger
You need a change of soul rather than a change of climate.
Seneca the Younger
Unjust dominion cannot be eternal.
Seneca the Younger
The shortest road to wealth lies in the contempt of wealth.
Seneca the Younger
Elegance is not an ornament worthy of man.
Seneca the Younger
To be everywhere is to be nowhere.
Seneca the Younger
Why does no one confess his sins? Because he is yet in them. It is for a man who has awoke from sleep to tell his dreams.
Seneca the Younger
Other men's sins are before our eyes our own are behind our backs.
Seneca the Younger
There is no evil that does not promise inducements. Avarice promises money luxury, a varied assortment of pleasures ambition, a purple robe and applause. Vices tempt you by the rewards they offer.
Seneca the Younger
It is rash to condemn where you are ignorant.
Seneca the Younger
