More quotes by Seneca the Younger
It is impossible to imagine anything which better becomes a ruler than mercy.
Seneca the Younger
He who tenders doubtful safety to those in trouble refuses it.
Seneca the Younger
Light cares speak, great ones are speechless. -Curae leves loquuntur ingentes stupent
Seneca the Younger
We should every night call ourselves to an account: What infirmity have I mastered today? What passions opposed? What temptation resisted? What virtue acquired? Our vices will abate of themselves if they be brought every day to the shrift.
Seneca the Younger
Be silent as to services you have rendered, but speak of favours you have received.
Seneca the Younger
Self-denial is the best riches.
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
There is no benefit so large that malignity will not lessen it none so narrow that a good interpretation will not enlarge it.
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
Lay hold of today's task, and you will not depend so much upon tomorrow's.
Seneca the Younger
We are all sinful. Therefore whatever we blame in another we shall find in our own bosoms.
Seneca the Younger
Whatsoever has exceeded its proper limit is in an unstable position.
Seneca the Younger
We should have a bond of sympathy for all sentient beings, knowing that only the depraved and base take pleasure in the sight of blood and suffering.
Seneca the Younger
When I think over what I have said, I envy dumb people.
Seneca the Younger
If you judge, investigate.
Seneca the Younger
The velocity with which time flies is infinite, as is most apparent to those who look back.
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
The first step towards amendment is the recognition of error.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever is well said by another, is mine.
Seneca the Younger
It's the admirer and the watcher who provoke us to all the inanities we commit.
Seneca the Younger
