More quotes by Seneca the Younger
The physician cannot prescribe by letter, he must feel the pulse.
Seneca the Younger
Nature ever provides for her own exigencies.
Seneca the Younger
He is not guilty who is not guilty of his own free will.
Seneca the Younger
The deep waters of time will flow over us: only a few men of genius will lift a head above the surface, and though doomed eventually to pass into the same silence, will fight against oblivion and for a long time hold their own.
Seneca the Younger
You find in some a sort of graceless modesty, that makes them ashamed to requite an obligation.
Seneca the Younger
To be everywhere is to be nowhere.
Seneca the Younger
Golden roofs break men's rest.
Seneca the Younger
Retire into yourself as much as possible. Associate with people who are likely to improve you. Welcome those whom you are capable of improving. The process is a mutual one. People learn as they teach.
Seneca the Younger
Let the man, who would be grateful, think of repaying a kindness, even while receiving it.
Seneca the Younger
We are born to lose and to perish, to hope and to fear, to vex ourselves and others and there is no antidote against a common calamity but virtue for the foundation of true joy is in the conscience.
Seneca the Younger
Whatsoever has exceeded its proper limit is in an unstable position.
Seneca the Younger
I will govern my life and thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one and read the other, for what does it signify to make anything a secret to my neighbor, when to God, who is the searcher of our hearts, all our privacies are open?
Seneca the Younger
No man esteems anything that comes to him by chance but when it is governed by reason, it brings credit both to the giver and receiver whereas those favors are in some sort scandalous that make a man ashamed of his patron.
Seneca the Younger
The expression of truth is simplicity.
Seneca the Younger
A favor is to a grateful man delightful always to an ungrateful man only once.
Seneca the Younger
The man who has learned to triumph over sorrow wears his miseries as though they were sacred fillets upon his brow and nothing is so entirely admirable as a man bravely wretched.
Seneca the Younger
Shall I tell you what the real evil is? To cringe to the things that are called evils, to surrender to them our freedom, in defiance of which we ought to face any suffering.
Seneca the Younger
Great grief does not of itself put an end to itself.
Seneca the Younger
Freedom can't be bought for nothing. If you hold her precious, you must hold all else of little worth.
Seneca the Younger
Home joys are blessed of heaven.
Seneca the Younger
