More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Poverty with joy isn't poverty at all. The poor man is not one who has little, but one who hankers after more.
Seneca the Younger
Men learn while they teach.
Seneca the Younger
The man who while he gives thinks of what he will get in return, deserves to be deceived.
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
Behold a worthy sight, to which the God, turning his attention to his own work, may direct his gaze. Behold an equal thing, worthy of a God, a brave man matched in conflict with evil fortune.
Seneca the Younger
The gladiator is formulating his plan in the arena or essentially Too late.
Seneca the Younger
The willing, destiny guides them the unwilling, destiny drags them.
Seneca the Younger
I know that nothing comes to pass but what God appoints our fate is decreed, and things do not happen by chance, but every man's portion of joy and sorrow is predetermined.
Seneca the Younger
Beauty is such a fleeting blossom, how can wisdom rely upon its momentary delight?
Seneca the Younger
A good person dyes events with his own color . . . and turns whatever happens to his own benefit.
Seneca the Younger
Whom they have injured they also hate.
Seneca the Younger
The mind that is anxious about future events is miserable.
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
Our fears vanish as the danger approaches.
Seneca the Younger
It is within the power of every man to live his life nobly, but of no man to live forever. Yet so many of us hope that life will go on forever, and so few aspire to live nobly.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever is well said by another, is mine.
Seneca the Younger
Study rather to fill your mind than your coffers knowing that gold and silver were originally mingled with dirt, until avarice or ambition parted them.
Seneca the Younger
It is not how many books thou hast, but how good careful reading profiteth, while that which is full of variety delighteth.
Seneca the Younger
Live among others as if God beheld you speak to God as if others were listening.
Seneca the Younger
The first step in a person's salvation is knowledge of their sin.
Seneca the Younger
