More quotes by Seneca the Younger
As gratitude is a necessary, and a glorious virtue, so also it is an obvious, a cheap, and an easy one so obvious that wherever there is life there is a place for it so cheap, that the covetous man may be gratified without expense, and so easy that the sluggard may be so likewise without labor.
Seneca the Younger
If you judge, investigate.
Seneca the Younger
He that will do no good offices after a disappointment must stand still, and do just nothing at all. The plough goes on after a barren year and while the ashes are yet warm, we raise a new house upon the ruins of a former.
Seneca the Younger
We suffer more often in imagination than in reality. [We must learn to control and focus the force of our imagination on the good, bright side so it is positive and constructive helping ourselves and others, rather than let its force focus on the bad, dark side so it is negative and destructive hurting ourselves and others!]
Seneca the Younger
Great grief does not of itself put an end to itself.
Seneca the Younger
To be everywhere is to be nowhere.
Seneca the Younger
Our fears vanish as the danger approaches.
Seneca the Younger
It's unknown the place and uncertain the time where death awaits you thus you must expect death to find you, every time, at every place.
Seneca the Younger
We deliberate about the parcels of life, but not about life itself, and so we arrive all unawares at its different epochs, and have the trouble of beginning all again. And so finally it is that we do not walk as men confidently towards death, but let death come suddenly upon us.
Seneca the Younger
A friend always loves, but he who loves is not always a friend.
Seneca the Younger
The evil which assails us is not in the localities we inhabit but in ourselves.
Seneca the Younger
Happy is the man who can endure the highest and lowest fortune. He who has endured such vicissitudes with equanimity has deprived misfortune of its power.
Seneca the Younger
He is not guilty who is not guilty of his own free will.
Seneca the Younger
We have been born under a monarchy to obey God is freedom.
Seneca the Younger
He who would do great things should not attempt them all alone.
Seneca the Younger
To live is not a blessing, but to live well.
Seneca the Younger
That loss is most discreditable which is caused by negligence.
Seneca the Younger
I would rather be sick than idle.
Seneca the Younger
There in no one more unfortunate than the man who has never been unfortunate. for it has never been in his power to try himself.
Seneca the Younger
All art is but imitation of nature.
Seneca the Younger
