More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Adversity finds at last the man whom she has often passed by.
Seneca the Younger
How can a thing possibly govern others when it cannot be governed itself?
Seneca the Younger
Persistent kindness conquers the ill-disposed.
Seneca the Younger
The evil which assails us is not in the localities we inhabit but in ourselves.
Seneca the Younger
Retire into yourself as much as possible. Associate with people who are likely to improve you. Welcome those whom you are capable of improving. The process is a mutual one. People learn as they teach.
Seneca the Younger
We should have a bond of sympathy for all sentient beings, knowing that only the depraved and base take pleasure in the sight of blood and suffering.
Seneca the Younger
That loss is most discreditable which is caused by negligence.
Seneca the Younger
He who fears from near at hand often fears less.
Seneca the Younger
It is extreme evil to depart from the company of the living before you die.
Seneca the Younger
The mind makes the nobleman, and uplifts the lowly to high degree.
Seneca the Younger
I was not born for one corner. The whole world is my native land.
Seneca the Younger
Truths open to everyone, and the claims aren't all staked yet.
Seneca the Younger
The state of that man's mind who feels too intense an interest as to future events, must be most deplorable.
Seneca the Younger
Every one has time if he likes. Business runs after nobody: people cling to it of their own free will and think that to be busy is a proof of happiness.
Seneca the Younger
The wretched hasten to hear of their own miseries.
Seneca the Younger
Fortune can take away riches, but not courage.
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
Speech devoted to truth should be straightforward and plain
Seneca the Younger
Just where death is expecting you is something we cannot know so, for your part, expect him everywhere.
Seneca the Younger
Most men ebb and flow in wretchedness between the fear of death and the hardship of life they are unwilling to live, and yet they do not know how to die.
Seneca the Younger
