More quotes by Seneca the Younger
What is true belongs to me!
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Everything is the product of one universal creative effort. There is nothing dead in Nature.
Seneca the Younger
Freedom can't be kept for nothing. If you set a high value on liberty, you must set a low value on everything else.
Seneca the Younger
Necessity is stronger than duty.
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
It is a youthful failing to be unable to control one's impulses.
Seneca the Younger
Let the man, who would be grateful, think of repaying a kindness, even while receiving it.
Seneca the Younger
What-so-ever the mind has ordained for itself, it has achieved
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The man who while he gives thinks of what he will get in return, deserves to be deceived.
Seneca the Younger
The road by precepts is tedious, by example, short and efficacious.
Seneca the Younger
Death falls heavily on that man who, known too well to others, dies in ignorance of himself.
Seneca the Younger
Not to feel one's misfortunes is not human, not to bear them is not manly.
Seneca the Younger
Beauty is such a fleeting blossom, how can wisdom rely upon its momentary delight?
Seneca the Younger
Auditur et altera pars. (The other side shall be heard as well.)
Seneca the Younger
While we wait for life, life passes
Seneca the Younger
Do everything as in the eye of another.
Seneca the Younger
Never to wrong others takes one a long way towards peace of mind.
Seneca the Younger
