More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Nemo tam divos habuit faventes, Crastinum ut possit sibi polliceri. Nobody has ever found the gods so much his friends that he can promise himself another day.
Seneca the Younger
Extreme remedies are never the first to be resorted to.
Seneca the Younger
Behold a worthy sight, to which the God, turning his attention to his own work, may direct his gaze. Behold an equal thing, worthy of a God, a brave man matched in conflict with evil fortune.
Seneca the Younger
Great is he who enjoys his earthenware as if it were plate, and not less great is the man to whom all his plate is no more that earthenware.
Seneca the Younger
Death is a release from and an end of all pains.
Seneca the Younger
Associate with people who are likely to improve you.
Seneca the Younger
He who comes to a conclusion when the other side is unheard, may have been just in his conclusion, but yet has not been just in his conduct.
Seneca the Younger
I have withdrawn not only from men, but from affairs, especially my own affairs I am working for later generations, writing down some ideas that may be of assistance to them.
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
It is a youthful failing to be unable to control one's impulses.
Seneca the Younger
Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all. It sets the slave at liberty, carries the banished man home, and places all mortals on the same level, insomuch that life itself were a punishment without it.
Seneca the Younger
The physician cannot prescribe by letter, he must feel the pulse.
Seneca the Younger
Wisdom teaches us to do, as well as to talk and to make our words and actions all of a colour.
Seneca the Younger
Let wickedness escape as it may at the bar, it never fails of doing justice upon itself for every guilty person is his own hangman.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man lives as long as he should, not just as long as he likes.
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
So live with an inferior as you would wish a superior to live with you.
Seneca the Younger
Light is that grief which counsel can allay.
Seneca the Younger
The approach of liberty makes even an old man brave.
Seneca the Younger
He will live ill who does not know how to die well.
Seneca the Younger
