More quotes by Seneca the Younger
There is no evil that does not promise inducements. Avarice promises money luxury, a varied assortment of pleasures ambition, a purple robe and applause. Vices tempt you by the rewards they offer.
Seneca the Younger
The best cure for anger is delay.
Seneca the Younger
He who has great power should use it lightly.
Seneca the Younger
Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Give up no science entirely for science is but one.
Seneca the Younger
Do what you should, not what you may.
Seneca the Younger
The profit on a good action is to have done it.
Seneca the Younger
That which takes effect by chance is not an art.
Seneca the Younger
We are as answerable for what we give as for what we receive nay, the misplacing of a benefit is worse than the not receiving of it for the one is another person's fault, but the other is mine.
Seneca the Younger
We have been born under a monarchy to obey God is freedom.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing, to my way of thinking, is a better proof of a well-ordered mind than a man's ability to stop just where he is and pass some time in his own company.
Seneca the Younger
What view is one likely to take of the state of a person's mind when his speech is wild and incoherent and knows no constraint?
Seneca the Younger
Success consecrates the most offensive crimes.
Seneca the Younger
It's not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it.
Seneca the Younger
The worst evil of all is to leave the ranks of the living before one dies.
Seneca the Younger
Philosophy is the health of the mind.
Seneca the Younger
No man esteems anything that comes to him by chance but when it is governed by reason, it brings credit both to the giver and receiver whereas those favors are in some sort scandalous that make a man ashamed of his patron.
Seneca the Younger
Money has never yet made anyone rich.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing more despicable than an old man who has no other proof than his age to offer of his having lived long in the world.
Seneca the Younger
Solitude and company may be allowed to take their turns: the one creates in us the love of mankind, the other that of ourselves solitude relieves us when we are sick of company, and conversation when we are weary of being alone, so that the one cures the other. There is no man so miserable as he that is at a loss how to use his time
Seneca the Younger
He who forbids not sin when he may, commands it
Seneca the Younger
