More quotes by Seneca the Younger
There is no genius without a mixture of madness.
Seneca the Younger
Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness.
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
It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue is nothing else than right reason
Seneca the Younger
Let the man, who would be grateful, think of repaying a kindness, even while receiving it.
Seneca the Younger
The spirit in which a thing is given determines that in which the debt is acknowledged it's the intention, not the face-value of the gift, that's weighed.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing, to my way of thinking, is a better proof of a well-ordered mind than a man's ability to stop just where he is and pass some time in his own company.
Seneca the Younger
Nature ever provides for her own exigencies.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue depends partly upon training and partly upon practice you must learn first, and then strengthen your learning by actions.
Seneca the Younger
No work is of such merit as to instruct from a mere cursory perusal.
Seneca the Younger
Fire proves gold, adversity proves men.
Seneca the Younger
We learn not in the school, but in life.
Seneca the Younger
It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much. ... The life we receive is not short but we make it so we are not ill provided but use what we have wastefully.
Seneca the Younger
His head was turned by too great success.
Seneca the Younger
A good conscience fears no witness, but a guilty conscience is solicitous even in solitude. If we do nothing but what is honest, let all the world know it. But if otherwise, what does it signify to have nobody else know it, so long as I know it myself? Miserable is he who slights that witness.
Seneca the Younger
That which has been endured with difficulty is remedied with delight.
Seneca the Younger
If you would judge, understand.
Seneca the Younger
I will govern my life and thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one and read the other, for what does it signify to make anything a secret to my neighbor, when to God, who is the searcher of our hearts, all our privacies are open?
Seneca the Younger
Good sides to adversity are best admired at a distance.
Seneca the Younger
