More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Pain, scorned by yonder gout-ridden wretch, endured by yonder dyspeptic in the midst of his dainties, borne bravely by the girl in travail. Slight thou art, if I can bear thee, short thou art if I cannot bear thee!
Seneca the Younger
Life, if thou knowest how to use it, is long enough.
Seneca the Younger
Some cures are worse than the dangers they combat.
Seneca the Younger
It is not how many books thou hast, but how good careful reading profiteth, while that which is full of variety delighteth.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The willing, destiny guides them the unwilling, destiny drags them.
Seneca the Younger
A crowd of fellow-sufferers is a miserable kind of comfort.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Whatever begins, also ends.
Seneca the Younger
Indolence is stagnation employment is life.
Seneca the Younger
The worst evil of all is to leave the ranks of the living before one dies.
Seneca the Younger
Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light. Life is the wind and the rain and the thunder in the sky. Life is matter and is earth, what is and what is not, and what beyond is in Eternity.
Seneca the Younger
Everything that exceeds the bounds of moderation has an unstable foundation.
Seneca the Younger
If you would judge, understand.
Seneca the Younger
Life is short and art is long.
Seneca the Younger
No one can have all he desires.
Seneca the Younger
If wisdom were offered me with this restriction, that I should keep it close and not communicate it, I would refuse the gift.
Seneca the Younger
What with our hooks, snares, nets, and dogs, we are at war with all living creatures, and nothing comes amiss but that which is either too cheap or too common and all this is to gratify a fantastical palate.
Seneca the Younger
Gold is tried by fire, brave men by adversity.
Seneca the Younger
Every change of place becomes a delight.
Seneca the Younger
