More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Religion worships God, while superstition profanes that worship.
Seneca the Younger
What difference does it make, after all, what your position in life is if you dislike it yourself?
Seneca the Younger
Do you desire not to be angry? Be not inquisitive. He who inquires what is said of him only works out his own misery.
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
That poverty is no disaster is understood by everyone who has not yet succumbed to the madness of greed and luxury that turns everything topsy-turvy.
Seneca the Younger
There's one blessing only, the source and cornerstone of beatitude: confidence in self.
Seneca the Younger
He who comes to a conclusion when the other side is unheard, may have been just in his conclusion, but yet has not been just in his conduct.
Seneca the Younger
It is the superfluous things for which men sweat.
Seneca the Younger
If ever you come upon a grove of ancient trees which have grown to an exceptional height, shutting out a view of sky by a veil of pleached and intertwining branches, then the loftiness of the forest, the seclusion of the spot and your marvel at the thick unbroken shade in the midst of the open spaces, will prove to you the presence of deity.
Seneca the Younger
Let us say what we feel, and feel what we say let speech harmonize with life.
Seneca the Younger
Men love their vices and hate them at the same time.
Seneca the Younger
Life is a gift of the immortal Gods, but living well is the gift of philosophy.
Seneca the Younger
He, who will not pardon others, must not himself expect pardon.
Seneca the Younger
It is impossible to imagine anything which better becomes a ruler than mercy.
Seneca the Younger
The more violent the storm the sooner it is over.
Seneca the Younger
Injustice never rules forever.
Seneca the Younger
Ponder for a long time whether you shall admit a given person to your friendship but when you have decided to admit him, welcome him with all your heart and soul. Speak as boldly with him as with yourself.
Seneca the Younger
Every man prefers belief to the exercise of judgment.
Seneca the Younger
He robs present ills of their power who has perceived their coming beforehand.
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
