More quotes by Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
That which takes effect by chance is not an art.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man lacked nothing but needed a great number of things, whereas the fool, on the other hand, needs nothing (for he does not know how to use anything) but lacks everything.
Seneca the Younger
Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind.
Seneca the Younger
A large part of mankind is angry not with the sins, but with the sinners.
Seneca the Younger
He who receives a benefit with gratitude, repays the first installment of it.
