Seneca the Younger
Philosophy is the health of the mind.
Seneca the Younger
A large part of mankind is angry not with the sins, but with the sinners.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The swiftness of time is infinite, as is still more evident when we look back on the past.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Reasons for anxiety will never be lacking, whether born of prosperity or of wretchedness life pushes on in a succession of engrossments. We shall always pray for leisure.
Seneca the Younger
It is a tedious thing to be always beginning life they live badly who always begin to live.

Seneca the Younger
Nature ever provides for her own exigencies.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
It is the power of the mind to be unconquerable.
Seneca the Younger
We suffer more often in imagination than in reality. [We must learn to control and focus the force of our imagination on the good, bright side so it is positive and constructive helping ourselves and others, rather than let its force focus on the bad, dark side so it is negative and destructive hurting ourselves and others!]
Seneca the Younger
One must take all one's life to learn how to leave, and what will perhaps make you wonder more, one must take all one's life to learn how to die.
Seneca the Younger
There is as much greatness of mind in the owning of a good turn as in the doing of it and we must no more force a requital out of season than be wanting in it.
Seneca the Younger
The mind that is anxious about future events is miserable.
Seneca the Younger
One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.
Seneca the Younger
We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with. Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them.
Seneca the Younger
Obedience is yielded more readily to one who commands gently.
Seneca the Younger
Such is the blindness, nay the insanity of mankind, that some men are driven to death by the fear of it.
Seneca the Younger
