More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Be silent as to services you have rendered, but speak of favours you have received.
Seneca the Younger
True friends are the whole world to one another and he that is a friend to himself is also a friend to mankind. Even in my studies the greatest delight I take is of imparting it to others for there is no relish to me in the possessing of anything without a partner.
Seneca the Younger
How much does great prosperity overspread the mind with darkness.
Seneca the Younger
Our minds must relax: they will rise better and keener after rest. Just as you must not force fertile farmland, as uninterrupted productivity will soon exhaust it, so constant effort will sap our mental vigour, while a short period of rest and relaxation will restore our powers. Unremitting effort leads to a kind of mental dullness and lethargy.
Seneca the Younger
Principles are like seeds they are little things which do much good, if the mind that receives them has the right attitudes.
Seneca the Younger
Whom they have injured they also hate.
Seneca the Younger
We are all sinful. Therefore whatever we blame in another we shall find in our own bosoms.
Seneca the Younger
You learn to know a pilot in a storm.
Seneca the Younger
The most onerous slavery is to be a slave to oneself.
Seneca the Younger
There is no evil that does not promise inducements. Avarice promises money luxury, a varied assortment of pleasures ambition, a purple robe and applause. Vices tempt you by the rewards they offer.
Seneca the Younger
We learn not in the school, but in life.
Seneca the Younger
If thou wishest to get rid of thy evil propensities, thou must keep far from evil companions.
Seneca the Younger
That comes too late that comes for the asking.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue depends partly upon training and partly upon practice you must learn first, and then strengthen your learning by actions.
Seneca the Younger
A well-governed appetite is a great part of liberty
Seneca the Younger
The Fates guide those who go willingly. Those who do not, they drag.
Seneca the Younger
Not to feel one's misfortunes is not human, not to bear them is not manly.
Seneca the Younger
We should give as we would receive, cheerfully, quickly, and without hesitation for there is no grace in a benefit that sticks to the fingers.
Seneca the Younger
A foolishness is inflicted with a hatred of itself.
Seneca the Younger
Those alone are wise who know how to love.
Seneca the Younger
