Seneca the Younger
The key to getting everything you want is to never put all your begs in one ask-it!
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
A person's fears are lighter when the danger is at hand.
Seneca the Younger
He who has great power should use it lightly.
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

Seneca the Younger
If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favourable.
Seneca the Younger
The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing after death, and death itself is nothing.
Seneca the Younger
Expediency often silences justice.
Seneca the Younger
Just as so many rivers, so many showers of rain from above, so many medicinal springs do not alter the taste of the sea, so the pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man. For it maintains its balance, and over all that happens it throws its own complexion, because it is more powerful than external circumstances.
Seneca the Younger
Light griefs are plaintive , but great ones are dumb
Seneca the Younger
Time discovers truth.
Seneca the Younger
No evil is without its compensation. The less money, the less trouble the less favor, the less envy. Even in those cases which put us out of wits, it is not the loss itself, but the estimate of the loss that troubles us.
Seneca the Younger
We are all sinful. Therefore whatever we blame in another we shall find in our own bosoms.
Seneca the Younger
A great step toward independence is a good-humoured stomach.
Seneca the Younger
A good mind is a lord of a kingdom.
Seneca the Younger
A foolishness is inflicted with a hatred of itself.
Seneca the Younger
Some there are that torment themselves afresh with the memory of what is past others, again, afflict themselves with the apprehension of evils to come and very ridiculously both - for the one does not now concern us, and the other not yet ... One should count each day as a separate life.
Seneca the Younger
