More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Happy is the man who can endure the highest and lowest fortune. He who has endured such vicissitudes with equanimity has deprived misfortune of its power.
Seneca the Younger
A good character is the only guarantee of everlasting, carefree happiness.
Seneca the Younger
The shortest road to wealth lies in the contempt of wealth.
Seneca the Younger
You cease to be afraid when you cease to hope for hope is accompanied by fear.
Seneca the Younger
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
Seneca the Younger
Time is the one thing that is given to everyone in equal measure.
Seneca the Younger
It is easy enough to arouse in a listener a desire for what is honorable for in every one of us nature has laid the foundations or sown the seeds of the virtues. We are born to them all, all of us, and when a person comes along with the necessary stimulus, then those qualities of the personality are awakened, so to speak, from their slumber.
Seneca the Younger
A man who suffers or stresses before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary
Seneca the Younger
In every good man a God doth dwell.

Call it Nature, Fate, Fortune all these are names of the one and selfsame God.
Seneca the Younger
You can tell the character of every man when you see how he receives praise.
Seneca the Younger
Our life's a moment and less than a moment, but even this mite nature has mockingly humored with some appearance of a longer span.
Seneca the Younger
How much does great prosperity overspread the mind with darkness.
Seneca the Younger
People do not die - they kill themselves.
Seneca the Younger
Men trust their eyes rather than their ears the road by precept is long and tedious, by example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
It passes in the world for greatness of mind, to be perpetually giving and loading people with bounties but it is one thing to know how to give and another thing not to know how to keep. Give me a heart that is easy and open, but I will have no holes in it let it be bountiful with judgment, but I will have nothing run out of it I know not how.
Seneca the Younger
You want to live-but do you know how to live? You are scared of dying-and, tell me, is the kind of life you lead really any different from being dead?
Seneca the Younger
Delay not swift the flight of fortune's greatest favours.
Seneca the Younger
You talk one way, you live another.
Seneca the Younger
