More quotes by Seneca the Younger
A good character is the only guarantee of everlasting, carefree happiness.
Seneca the Younger
The stomach begs and clamors, and listens to no precepts. And yet it is not an obdurate creditor for it is dismissed with small payment if you give it only what you owe, and not as much as you can.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man then followed a simple way of life-which is hardly surprising when you consider how even in this modern age he seeks to be as little encumbered as he possibly can.
Seneca the Younger
Friendship always benefits love sometimes injures.
Seneca the Younger
It is rash to condemn where you are ignorant.
Seneca the Younger
To preserve the life of citizens, is the greatest virtue in the father of his country.
Seneca the Younger
It is easier to grow in dignity than to make a start.
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
We learn not in the school, but in life.
Seneca the Younger
He that makes himself famous by his eloquence, justice or arms illustrates his extraction, let it be never so mean and gives inestimable reputation to his parents. We should never have heard of Sophroniscus, but for his son, Socrates nor of Ariosto and Gryllus, if it had not been for Xenophon and Plato.
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 evil is without its compensation. The less money, the less trouble the less favor, the less envy. Even in those cases which put us out of wits, it is not the loss itself, but the estimate of the loss that troubles us.
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
Disease is not of the body but of the place.
Seneca the Younger
Many person might have achieved wisdom had they not supposed that they already possessed it.
Seneca the Younger
I am telling you to be a slow-speaking person.
Seneca the Younger
What difference does it make how much you have? What you do not have amounts to much more.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing in the world so much admired as a man who knows how to bear unhappiness with courage.
Seneca the Younger
If God adds another day to our life, let us receive it gladly.
Seneca the Younger
Anyone can stop a man's life, but no one his death a thousand doors open on to it.
Seneca the Younger
