More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Man's ideal state is realized when he has fulfilled the purpose for which he is born. And what is it that reason demands of him? Something very easy-that he live in accordance with his own nature.
Seneca the Younger
Retire into yourself as much as possible. Associate with people who are likely to improve you. Welcome those whom you are capable of improving. The process is a mutual one. People learn as they teach.
Seneca the Younger
Life, if thou knowest how to use it, is long enough.
Seneca the Younger
Remember that pain has this most excellent quality. If prolonged it cannot be severe, and if severe it cannot be prolonged.
Seneca the Younger
That which has been endured with difficulty is remedied with delight.
Seneca the Younger
To live is not a blessing, but to live well.
Seneca the Younger
Solitude and company may be allowed to take their turns: the one creates in us the love of mankind, the other that of ourselves solitude relieves us when we are sick of company, and conversation when we are weary of being alone, so that the one cures the other. There is no man so miserable as he that is at a loss how to use his time
Seneca the Younger
A dwarf is small even if he stands on a mountain a colossus keeps his height, even if he stands in a well.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
There are more things to alarm us than to harm us, and we suffer more often in apprehension than reality.
Seneca the Younger
Laws do not persuade just because they threaten.
Seneca the Younger
I know that nothing comes to pass but what God appoints our fate is decreed, and things do not happen by chance, but every man's portion of joy and sorrow is predetermined.
Seneca the Younger
Men love their country, not because it is great, but because it is their own.
Seneca the Younger
We become wiser by adversity prosperity destroys our appreciation of the right. True happiness is ... to enjoy the present It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.
Seneca the Younger
Whom they have injured they also hate.
Seneca the Younger
We deliberate about the parcels of life, but not about life itself, and so we arrive all unawares at its different epochs, and have the trouble of beginning all again. And so finally it is that we do not walk as men confidently towards death, but let death come suddenly upon us.
Seneca the Younger
Friendship always benefits love sometimes injures.
Seneca the Younger
It is expedient for the victor to wish for peace restored for the vanquished it is necessary.
Seneca the Younger
The poor are not the people with less, which is less desirable
