More quotes by Seneca the Younger
He who fears from near at hand often fears less.
Seneca the Younger
The many speak highly of you, but have you really any grounds for satisfaction with yourself if you are the kind of person the many understand?
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
Let ease and rest at times be given to the weary.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing more miserable and foolish than anticipation.
Seneca the Younger
It is impossible to imagine anything which better becomes a ruler than mercy.
Seneca the Younger
I am telling you to be a slow-speaking person.
Seneca the Younger
Fate rules the affairs of men, with no recognizable order.
Seneca the Younger
It is never too late to turn from the errors of our ways: He who repents of his sins is almost innocent.
Seneca the Younger
Genius has never been accepted without a measure of condonement.
Seneca the Younger
What view is one likely to take of the state of a person's mind when his speech is wild and incoherent and knows no constraint?
Seneca the Younger
Fortune may rob us of our wealth, not of our courage.
Seneca the Younger
Nihil tam acerbum est in quo non æquus animus solatium inveniat. There is nothing so disagreeable, that a patient mind can not find some solace for it.
Seneca the Younger
Beauty is such a fleeting blossom, how can wisdom rely upon its momentary delight?
Seneca the Younger
Conversation has a kind of charm about it, an insuating and insidious something that elicits secrets from us just like love or liquor.
Seneca the Younger
My joy in learning is partly that it enables me to teach.
Seneca the Younger
It's unknown the place and uncertain the time where death awaits you thus you must expect death to find you, every time, at every place.
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
A good conscience fears no witness, but a guilty conscience is solicitous even in solitude. If we do nothing but what is honest, let all the world know it. But if otherwise, what does it signify to have nobody else know it, so long as I know it myself? Miserable is he who slights that witness.
Seneca the Younger
Believe me, that was a happy age, before the days of architects, before the days of builders.
Seneca the Younger
