Image
Poverty wants some, luxury many, and avarice all things.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Nothing becomes so offensive so quickly as grief. When fresh it finds someone to console it, but when it becomes chronic, it is ridiculed and rightly.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Of war men ask the outcome, not the cause.
Seneca the Younger
Image
It is true greatness to have in one the frailty of a man and the security of a god.
Seneca the Younger
Image
It does not matter how many books you have, but how good the books are which you have.
Seneca the Younger
Image
The first and greatest punishment of the sinner is the conscience of sin.
Seneca the Younger
Image
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
Image
The worst evil of all is to leave the ranks of the living before one dies.
Seneca the Younger
Image
I am telling you to be a slow-speaking person.
Seneca the Younger
Image
The first step towards amendment is the recognition of error.
Seneca the Younger
Image
True love hates and will not bear delay.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Reasons for anxiety will never be lacking, whether born of prosperity or of wretchedness life pushes on in a succession of engrossments. We shall always pray for leisure.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Just as I shall select my ship when I am about to go on a voyage, or my house when I propose to take a residence, so shall I choose my death when I am about to depart from life.
Seneca the Younger
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
People pay the doctor for his trouble for his kindness they still remain in his debt.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Fire tries gold, misery tries brave men.
Seneca the Younger
Image
The expression of truth is simplicity.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Golden roofs break men's rest.
