More quotes by Seneca the Younger
The profit on a good action is to have done it.
Seneca the Younger
Conversation has a kind of charm about it, an insuating and insidious something that elicits secrets from us just like love or liquor.
Seneca the Younger
We should every night call ourselves to an account: What infirmity have I mastered today? What passions opposed? What temptation resisted? What virtue acquired? Our vices will abate of themselves if they be brought every day to the shrift.
Seneca the Younger
It is often better not to see an insult than to avenge it.
Seneca the Younger
Abstinence is easier than temperance.
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
We gain so much by quickness, and lose so much by slowness.
Seneca the Younger
A coward calls himself cautious, a miser thrifty.

Seneca the Younger
Hold fast then to this sound and wholesome rule of life indulge the body only as far as is needful for health.
Seneca the Younger
True friends are the whole world to one another and he that is a friend to himself is also a friend to mankind. Even in my studies the greatest delight I take is of imparting it to others for there is no relish to me in the possessing of anything without a partner.
Seneca the Younger
Some laws, though unwritten, are more firmly established than all written laws.
Seneca the Younger
The Best sign of Wisdom is the consistency between the words and deeds.
Seneca the Younger
We learn not for life but for the debating-room.
Seneca the Younger
He may as well not thank at all, who thanks when none are by.
Seneca the Younger
