More quotes by Seneca the Younger
The first and greatest punishment of the sinner is the conscience of sin.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart.
Seneca the Younger
Men practice war beasts do not.
Seneca the Younger
While we teach, we learn.
Seneca the Younger
Wisdom does not show itself so much in precept as in life - in firmness of mind and a mastery of appetite. It teaches us to do as well as to talk and to make our words and actions all of a color.
Seneca the Younger
To things which you bear with impatience you should accustom yourself, and, by habit you will bear them well.
Seneca the Younger
What you think is the summit is only a step up
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
We haven't time to spare to hear whether it was between Italy and Sicily that he ran into a storm or somewhere outside the world we know-when every day we're running into our own storms, spiritual storms, and driven by vice into all the troubles that Ulysses ever knew.
Seneca the Younger
The first petition that we are to make to Almighty God is for a good conscience, the next for health of mind, and then of body.
Seneca the Younger
May be is very well, but Must is the master. It is my duty to show justice without recompense.
Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness is nothing but a self-induced state of insanity.
Seneca the Younger
Man is a reasoning Animal.
Seneca the Younger
There is a noble manner of being poor, and who does not know it will never be rich.
Seneca the Younger
The best way to do good to ourselves is to do it to others the right way to gather is to scatter.
Seneca the Younger
It is within the power of every man to live his life nobly, but of no man to live forever. Yet so many of us hope that life will go on forever, and so few aspire to live nobly.
Seneca the Younger
He that will do no good offices after a disappointment must stand still, and do just nothing at all. The plough goes on after a barren year and while the ashes are yet warm, we raise a new house upon the ruins of a former.
Seneca the Younger
Those griefs burn most which gall in secret.
Seneca the Younger
Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness.
Seneca the Younger
Life without the courage for death is slavery.
Seneca the Younger
