More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Loyalty is the holiest good in the human heart.
Seneca the Younger
He who boasts of his descent, praises the deed of another.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
See what daily exercise does for one.
Seneca the Younger
Fidelity bought with money is overcome by money.
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
Calamity is virtue's opportunity.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
What is true belongs to me!
Seneca the Younger
Our posterity will wonder about our ignorance of things so plain.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
That is never too often repeated, which is never sufficiently learned.
Seneca the Younger
Prudence and love cannot be mixed you can end love, but never moderate it.
Seneca the Younger
There is no greater punishment of wickedness that that it is dissatisfied with itself and its deeds.
Seneca the Younger
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
Seneca the Younger
We are wrong in looking forward to death: in great measure it's past already.
Seneca the Younger
Wisdom does not show itself so much in precept as in life - in firmness of mind and a mastery of appetite. It teaches us to do as well as to talk and to make our words and actions all of a color.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue with some is nothing but successful temerity.
Seneca the Younger
True love hates and will not bear delay.
Seneca the Younger
The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Seneca the Younger
