More quotes by Seneca the Younger
He who does not prevent a crime, when he can, encourages it.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Light griefs are plaintive , but great ones are dumb
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
He that does good to another does good also to himself, not only in the consequence but in the very act. For the consciousness of well-doing is in itself ample reward.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Poverty wants some, luxury many, and avarice all things.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man lacked nothing but needed a great number of things, whereas the fool, on the other hand, needs nothing (for he does not know how to use anything) but lacks everything.
Seneca the Younger
He is a king who fears nothing, he is a king who desires nothing!
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
There is no easy way from the earth to the stars.
Seneca the Younger
Most men ebb and flow in wretchedness between the fear of death and the hardship of life they are unwilling to live, and yet they do not know how to die.
Seneca the Younger
As the soil, however rich it may be, cannot be productive without cultivation, so the mind without culture can never produce good fruit
Seneca the Younger
It is a youthful failing to be unable to control one's impulses.
Seneca the Younger
No man was ever wise by chance.
Seneca the Younger
When you enter a grove peopled with ancient trees, higher than the ordinary, and shutting out the sky with their thickly inter-twined branches, do not the stately shadows of the wood, the stillness of the place, and the awful gloom of this doomed cavern then strike you with the presence of a deity?
Seneca the Younger
