Fate rules the affairs of men, with no recognizable order.
Seneca the Younger
There is no power greater than true affection.
Seneca the Younger
A physician is not angry at the intemperance of a mad patient, nor does he take it ill to be railed at by a man in fever. Just so should a wise man treat all mankind, as a physician does his patient, and look upon them only as sick and extravagant.
Seneca the Younger
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
There is no easy way from the earth to the stars.
Seneca the Younger
Our fears are always more numerous than our dangers.
Seneca the Younger
To be able to endure odium is the first art to be learned by those who aspire to power.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue depends partly upon training and partly upon practice you must learn first, and then strengthen your learning by action. If this be true, not only do the doctrines of wisdom help us but the precepts also, which check and banish our emotions by a sort of official decree.
Seneca the Younger
We are more easily led part by part to an understanding of the whole. -Facilius per partes in cognitionem totius adducimur
Seneca the Younger
Crime when it succeeds is called virtue.
Seneca the Younger
Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come . . . . Our universe is a sorry little affair unless it has in it something for every age to investigate.
Seneca the Younger
Extreme remedies are never the first to be resorted to.
Seneca the Younger
Men do not care how nobly they live, but only how long, although it is within the reach of every man to live nobly, but within no man's power to live long.
Seneca the Younger
Whenever the speech is corrupted so is the mind.
Seneca the Younger
Greatness stands upon a precipice, and if prosperity carries a man never so little beyond his poise, it overbears and dashes him to pieces.
Seneca the Younger
We have lost morals, justice, honor, piety and faith, and that sense of shame which, once lost, can never be restored.
Seneca the Younger
Every change of place becomes a delight.
Seneca the Younger
The stomach begs and clamors, and listens to no precepts. And yet it is not an obdurate creditor for it is dismissed with small payment if you give it only what you owe, and not as much as you can.
Seneca the Younger
Vice may be learnt, even without a teacher
Seneca the Younger
All we see and admire today will burn in the universal fire that ushers in a new, just, happy world.
Seneca the Younger
