More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Philosophy is the health of the mind.
Seneca the Younger
We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with. Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them.
Seneca the Younger
What once were vices are manners now.
Seneca the Younger
Why does no one confess his sins? Because he is yet in them. It is for a man who has awoke from sleep to tell his dreams.
Seneca the Younger
We gain so much by quickness, and lose so much by slowness.
Seneca the Younger
That poverty is no disaster is understood by everyone who has not yet succumbed to the madness of greed and luxury that turns everything topsy-turvy.
Seneca the Younger
A foolishness is inflicted with a hatred of itself.
Seneca the Younger
Be not dazzled by beauty, but look for those inward qualities which are lasting.
Seneca the Younger
The fear of war is worse than war itself.
Seneca the Younger
Men love their country, not because it is great, but because it is their own.
Seneca the Younger
Ignorance is the cause of fear.
Seneca the Younger
Just where death is expecting you is something we cannot know so, for your part, expect him everywhere.
Seneca the Younger
Every day, therefore, should be regulated as if it were the one that brings up the rear, the one that rounds out and completes our lives.
Seneca the Younger
It is a denial of justice not to stretch out a helping hand to the fallen that is the common right of humanity.
Seneca the Younger
The first and greatest punishment of the sinner is the conscience of sin.
Seneca the Younger
Many men would have arrived at wisdom had they not believed themselves to have arrived there already.
Seneca the Younger
He who blushes at riding in a rattletrap, will boast when he rides in style.
Seneca the Younger
Laws do not persuade just because they threaten.
Seneca the Younger
What is true belongs to me!
Seneca the Younger
Democracy is more cruel than wars or tyrants.
Seneca the Younger
