More quotes by Seneca the Younger
He who would arrive at the appointed end must follow a single road and not wander through many ways.
Seneca the Younger
It is easy enough to arouse in a listener a desire for what is honorable for in every one of us nature has laid the foundations or sown the seeds of the virtues. We are born to them all, all of us, and when a person comes along with the necessary stimulus, then those qualities of the personality are awakened, so to speak, from their slumber.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing wrong with changing a plan when the situation has changed.
Seneca the Younger
While the fates permit, live happily life speeds on with hurried step, and with winged days the wheel of the headlong year is turned.
Seneca the Younger
What once were vices are manners now.
Seneca the Younger
The velocity with which time flies is infinite, as is most apparent to those who look back.
Seneca the Younger
We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with. Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them.
Seneca the Younger
Why do I not seek some real good one which I could feel, not one which I could display?
Seneca the Younger
Hardly a man will you find who could live with his door open.
Seneca the Younger
You want to live-but do you know how to live? You are scared of dying-and, tell me, is the kind of life you lead really any different from being dead?
Seneca the Younger
In every good man a God doth dwell.
Seneca the Younger
He who would do great things should not attempt them all alone.
Seneca the Younger
The language of truth is unvarnished enough.
Seneca the Younger
The worse a person is the less he feels it.
Seneca the Younger
The expression of truth is simplicity.
Seneca the Younger
Fidelity purchased with money, money can destroy.
Seneca the Younger
Corporeal punishment falls far more heavily than most weighty pecuniary penalty.
Seneca the Younger
All my life I have been seeking to climb out of the pit of my besetting sins and I cannot do it and I never will unless a hand is let down to draw me up.
Seneca the Younger
Not to feel one's misfortunes is not human, not to bear them is not manly.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing the busy man is less busied with than living there is nothing harder to learn.
Seneca the Younger
