More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Retirement without literary amusements is death itself, and a living tomb.
Seneca the Younger
We should every night call ourselves to an account: What infirmity have I mastered today? What passions opposed? What temptation resisted? What virtue acquired? Our vices will abate of themselves if they be brought every day to the shrift.
Seneca the Younger
That comes too late that comes for the asking.
Seneca the Younger
Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come . . . . Our universe is a sorry little affair unless it has in it something for every age to investigate.
Seneca the Younger
Just where death is expecting you is something we cannot know so, for your part, expect him everywhere.
Seneca the Younger
As gratitude is a necessary, and a glorious virtue, so also it is an obvious, a cheap, and an easy one so obvious that wherever there is life there is a place for it so cheap, that the covetous man may be gratified without expense, and so easy that the sluggard may be so likewise without labor.
Seneca the Younger
The articulate, trained voice is more distracting than mere noise.
Seneca the Younger
For men in a state of freedom had thatch for their shelter, while slavery dwells beneath marble and gold.
Seneca the Younger
Rehearse death. To say this is to tell a person to rehearse his freedom. A person who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave. He is above, or at any rate, beyond the reach of, all political powers.
Seneca the Younger
Everything is the product of one universal creative effort. There is nothing dead in Nature.
Seneca the Younger
The first proof of a well-ordered mind is to be able to pause and linger within itself.
Seneca the Younger
It is not goodness to be better than the worst.
Seneca the Younger
The wretched hasten to hear of their own miseries.
Seneca the Younger
Money has never yet made anyone rich.
Seneca the Younger
He that by harshness of nature rules his family with an iron hand is as truly a tyrant as he who misgoverns a nation.
Seneca the Younger
Diligence is a very great help even to a mediocre intelligence. -Diligentia maximum etiam mediocris ingeni subsidium
Seneca the Younger
The approach of liberty makes even an old man brave.
Seneca the Younger
The book-keeping of benefits is simple: it is all expenditure if any one returns it, that is clear gain if he does not return it, it is not lost, I gave it for the sake of giving.
Seneca the Younger
There is as much greatness of mind in the owning of a good turn as in the doing of it and we must no more force a requital out of season than be wanting in it.
Seneca the Younger
Tis not the belly's hunger that costs so much, but its pride
Seneca the Younger
