More quotes by Seneca the Younger
He is greedy of life who is not willing to die when the world is perishing around him.
Seneca the Younger
Just where death is expecting you is something we cannot know so, for your part, expect him everywhere.
Seneca the Younger
There is no genius without a mixture of madness.
Seneca the Younger
Speech devoted to truth should be straightforward and plain
Seneca the Younger
Those who pass their lives in foreign travel find they contract many ties of hospitality, but form no friendships.
Seneca the Younger
We are members of one great body. Nature planted in us a mutual love, and fitted us for a social life. We must consider that we were born for the good of the whole.
Seneca the Younger
If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.
Seneca the Younger
When thou hast profited so much that thou respectest even thyself, thou mayst let go thy tutor.
Seneca the Younger
All things are cause for either laughter or weeping.
Seneca the Younger
The greatest loss of time is delay and expectation, which depend upon the future. We let go the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty.
Seneca the Younger
In every good man a God doth dwell.
Seneca the Younger
There is more heroism in self-denial than in deeds of arms.
Seneca the Younger
Ponder for a long time whether you shall admit a given person to your friendship but when you have decided to admit him, welcome him with all your heart and soul. Speak as boldly with him as with yourself.
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
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
Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness.
Seneca the Younger
The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.
Seneca the Younger
Lack of desire is the greatest riches.
Seneca the Younger
Every day, therefore, should be regulated as if it were the one that brings up the rear, the one that rounds out and completes our lives.
Seneca the Younger
A large part of mankind is angry not with the sins, but with the sinners.
Seneca the Younger
