We are more wicked together than separately. If you are forced to be in a crowd, then most of all you should withdraw into yourself.

More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all. It sets the slave at liberty, carries the banished man home, and places all mortals on the same level, insomuch that life itself were a punishment without it.
Seneca the Younger
Greatness stands upon a precipice, and if prosperity carries a man never so little beyond his poise, it overbears and dashes him to pieces.
Seneca the Younger
Nemo tam divos habuit faventes, Crastinum ut possit sibi polliceri. Nobody has ever found the gods so much his friends that he can promise himself another day.
Seneca the Younger
He who boasts of his pedigree praises that which does not belong to him.
Seneca the Younger
Misfortunes, in fine, cannot be avoided but they may be sweetened, if not overcome, and our lives made happy by philosophy.
Seneca the Younger
Cling tooth and nail to the following rule: Not to give in to adversity, never to trust prosperity, and always to take full note of fortune's habit of behaving just as she pleases, treating her as if she were actually going to do everything it is in her power to do. Whatever you have been expecting for some time comes as less of a shock.
Seneca the Younger
The many speak highly of you, but have you really any grounds for satisfaction with yourself if you are the kind of person the many understand?
Seneca the Younger
Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come . . . . Our universe is a sorry little affair unless it has in it something for every age to investigate.
Seneca the Younger
It is a tedious thing to be always beginning life they live badly who always begin to live.
Seneca the Younger
There is no fair wind for one who knows not whither he is bound.
Seneca the Younger
It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness.
Seneca the Younger
Nature has made us passive, and to suffer is our lot. While we are in the flesh every man has his chain and his clog only it is looser and lighter to one man than to another, and he is more at ease who takes it up and carries it than he who drags it.
Seneca the Younger
To be everywhere is to be nowhere.
Seneca the Younger
How much does great prosperity overspread the mind with darkness.
Seneca the Younger
The articulate, trained voice is more distracting than mere noise.
Seneca the Younger
On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!
Seneca the Younger
There is more heroism in self-denial than in deeds of arms.
Seneca the Younger
It is easier to grow in dignity than to make a start.
Seneca the Younger
No man ever became wise by chance.
Seneca the Younger
A good mind is a lord of a kingdom.
Seneca the Younger
