More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Light cares speak, great ones are speechless. -Curae leves loquuntur ingentes stupent
Seneca the Younger
Light griefs are plaintive , but great ones are dumb
Seneca the Younger
The approach of liberty makes even an old man brave.
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
Speech devoted to truth should be straightforward and plain
Seneca the Younger
There's no delight in owning anything unshared.
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
There is no genius free from some tincture of madness
Seneca the Younger
Modesty forbids what the law does not.
Seneca the Younger
Prudence and love cannot be mixed you can end love, but never moderate it.
Seneca the Younger
Behold a contest worthy of a god, a brave man matched in conflict with adversity.
Seneca the Younger
Authority founded on injustice is never of long duration.
Seneca the Younger
We suffer more often in imagination than in reality. [We must learn to control and focus the force of our imagination on the good, bright side so it is positive and constructive helping ourselves and others, rather than let its force focus on the bad, dark side so it is negative and destructive hurting ourselves and others!]
Seneca the Younger
However wretched a fellow-mortal may be, he is still a member of our common species.
Seneca the Younger
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.
Seneca the Younger
To strive with an equal is dangerous with a superior, mad with an inferior, degrading.
Seneca the Younger
There is as much greatness of mind in the owning of a good turn as in the doing of it and we must no more force a requital out of season than be wanting in it.
Seneca the Younger
He that by harshness of nature rules his family with an iron hand is as truly a tyrant as he who misgoverns a nation.
Seneca the Younger
It is within the power of every man to live his life nobly, but of no man to live forever. Yet so many of us hope that life will go on forever, and so few aspire to live nobly.
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
