More quotes by Seneca the Younger
It is the property of a great and good mind to covet, not the fruit of good deeds, but good deeds themselves, and to seek for a good man even after having met with bad men.
Seneca the Younger
The Fates guide those who go willingly. Those who do not, they drag.
Seneca the Younger
Refrain from following the example of those whose craving is for attention, not their own improvement.
Seneca the Younger
Just as I shall select my ship when I am about to go on a voyage, or my house when I propose to take a residence, so shall I choose my death when I am about to depart from life.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever has overstepped its due bounds is always in a state of instability.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
It is sometimes pleasant even to act like a madman.
Seneca the Younger
Luck is preparation multiplied by opportunity.
Seneca the Younger
Our minds must relax: they will rise better and keener after rest. Just as you must not force fertile farmland, as uninterrupted productivity will soon exhaust it, so constant effort will sap our mental vigour, while a short period of rest and relaxation will restore our powers. Unremitting effort leads to a kind of mental dullness and lethargy.
Seneca the Younger
If you live according to nature, you never will be poor if according to the world's caprice, you will never be rich.
Seneca the Younger
The thing that matters is not what you bear, but how you bear it
Seneca the Younger
Calamity is virtue's opportunity.
Seneca the Younger
Human society is like an arch, kept from falling by the mutual pressure of its parts
Seneca the Younger
Every change of place becomes a delight.
Seneca the Younger
Choose as a guide one whom you will admire more when you see him act than when you hear him speak.
Seneca the Younger
The law of the pleasure in having done anything for another is, that the one almost immediately forgets having given, and the other remembers eternally having received.
Seneca the Younger
