More quotes by Seneca the Younger
What difference does it make how much you have? What you do not have amounts to much more.
Seneca the Younger
The first petition that we are to make to Almighty God is for a good conscience, the next for health of mind, and then of body.
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
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

Seneca the Younger
A lesson that is never learned can never be too often taught.
Seneca the Younger
It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much. ... The life we receive is not short but we make it so we are not ill provided but use what we have wastefully.
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
He that does good to another does good also to himself.
Seneca the Younger
The approach of liberty makes even an old man brave.
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
