More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Necessity is stronger than duty.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue needs a director and guide. Vice can be learned even without a teacher.
Seneca the Younger
Just as so many rivers, so many showers of rain from above, so many medicinal springs do not alter the taste of the sea, so the pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man. For it maintains its balance, and over all that happens it throws its own complexion, because it is more powerful than external circumstances.
Seneca the Younger
A consciousness of wrongdoing is the first step to salvation...you have to catch yourself doing it before you can correct it.
Seneca the Younger
Obedience is yielded more readily to one who commands gently.
Seneca the Younger
After death there is nothing.
Seneca the Younger
The evil which assails us is not in the localities we inhabit but in ourselves.
Seneca the Younger
That comes too late that comes for the asking.
Seneca the Younger
The fortune of war is always doubtful.
Seneca the Younger
Some lack the fickleness to live as they wish and just live as they have begun.
Seneca the Younger
It is true greatness to have in one the frailty of a man and the security of a god.
Seneca the Younger
Death's the discharge of our debt of sorrow.
Seneca the Younger
If a man does not know to what port he is steering, no wind is favorable to him. Ignoranti quem portum petat, nullus suus ventus est.
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
There is no easy way from the earth to the stars.
Seneca the Younger
Consult your friend on all things, especially on those which respect yourself. His counsel may then be useful where your own self-love might impair your judgment.
Seneca the Younger
Pain, scorned by yonder gout-ridden wretch, endured by yonder dyspeptic in the midst of his dainties, borne bravely by the girl in travail. Slight thou art, if I can bear thee, short thou art if I cannot bear thee!
Seneca the Younger
Nemo tam divos habuit faventes, Crastinum ut possit sibi polliceri. Nobody has ever found the gods so much his friends that he can promise himself another day.
Seneca the Younger
We are members of one great body. Nature planted in us a mutual love, and fitted us for a social life. We must consider that we were born for the good of the whole.
Seneca the Younger
We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.
Seneca the Younger
