More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.
Seneca the Younger
Vice is contagious, and there is no trusting the sound and the sick together.
Seneca the Younger
Those whom true love has held, it will go on holding.
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
One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.
Seneca the Younger
The law of the pleasure in having done anything for another is, that the one almost immediately forgets having given, and the other remembers eternally having received.
Seneca the Younger
No one can be despised by another until he has learned to despise himself.
Seneca the Younger
Who can hope for nothing, should despair for nothing.
Seneca the Younger
It is a youthful failing to be unable to control one's impulses.
Seneca the Younger
Vice may be learnt, even without a teacher
Seneca the Younger
Retire into yourself as much as possible. Associate with people who are likely to improve you. Welcome those whom you are capable of improving. The process is a mutual one. People learn as they teach.
Seneca the Younger
There is a noble manner of being poor, and who does not know it will never be rich.
Seneca the Younger
Be silent as to services you have rendered, but speak of favours you have received.
Seneca the Younger
If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.
Seneca the Younger
In the meantime, cling tooth and nail to the following rule: not to give in to adversity, not to trust prosperity, and always take full note of fortune's habit of behaving just as she pleases.
Seneca the Younger
It is dishonorable to say one thing and think another how much more dishonorable to write one thing and think another.
Seneca the Younger
The ascent from earth to heaven is not easy.
Seneca the Younger
Religion worships God, while superstition profanes that worship.
Seneca the Younger
Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Give up no science entirely for science is but one.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart.
Seneca the Younger
