More quotes by Seneca the Younger
He who is brave is free.
Seneca the Younger
His head was turned by too great success.
Seneca the Younger
Light is that grief which counsel can allay.
Seneca the Younger
The man who spends his time choosing one resort after another in a hunt for peace and quiet will in every place he visits find something to prevent him from relaxing.
Seneca the Younger
Unjust dominion cannot be eternal.
Seneca the Younger
He that does good to another does good also to himself.
Seneca the Younger
If you really want to escape the things that harass you, what you're needing is not to be in a different place but to be a different person.
Seneca the Younger
All art is but imitation of nature.
Seneca the Younger
You must linger among a limited number of master-thinkers, and digest their works, if you would derive ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind.
Seneca the Younger
There has never been any great genius without a spice of madness.
Seneca the Younger
No evil is without its compensation. The less money, the less trouble the less favor, the less envy. Even in those cases which put us out of wits, it is not the loss itself, but the estimate of the loss that troubles us.
Seneca the Younger
The body is not a permanent dwelling, but a sort of inn which is to be left behind when one perceives that one is a burden to the host.
Seneca the Younger
True love hates and will not bear delay.
Seneca the Younger
A good conscience fears no witness, but a guilty conscience is solicitous even in solitude. If we do nothing but what is honest, let all the world know it. But if otherwise, what does it signify to have nobody else know it, so long as I know it myself? Miserable is he who slights that witness.
Seneca the Younger
Our (the Stoic) motto, as you know, is live according to nature.
Seneca the Younger
He who receives a benefit with gratitude, repays the first installment of it.
Seneca the Younger
Consult your friend on all things, especially on those which respect yourself. His counsel may then be useful where your own self-love might impair your judgment.
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
Precepts or maxims are of great weight and a few useful ones at hand do more toward a happy life than whole volumes that we know not where to find.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing deters a good man from doing what is honourable.
Seneca the Younger
