More quotes by 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

Seneca the Younger
The willing, destiny guides them the unwilling, destiny drags them.
Seneca the Younger
Anger is like a ruin, which, in falling upon its victim, breaks itself to pieces.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

There is no man so miserable as he that is at a loss how to use his time
Seneca the Younger
Friendship always benefits love sometimes injures.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
We should give as we would receive, cheerfully, quickly, and without hesitation for there is no grace in a benefit that sticks to the fingers.
Seneca the Younger
It is easier to grow in dignity than to make a start.
Seneca the Younger
The path of precept is long, that of example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
No man ever became wise by chance.
Seneca the Younger
Most people fancy themselves innocent of those crimes of which they cannot be convicted.
Seneca the Younger
These individulas have riches just as we say that we 'have a fever,' when really the fever has us.
Seneca the Younger
A large part of mankind is angry not with the sins, but with the sinners.
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
