Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
A thousand approaches lie open to death.
Seneca the Younger
Who timidly requests invites refusal.
Seneca the Younger
The fear of war is worse than war itself.
Seneca the Younger
The spirit in which a thing is given determines that in which the debt is acknowledged it's the intention, not the face-value of the gift, that's weighed.
Seneca the Younger
Time is the greatest remedy for anger.
Seneca the Younger
Simple is the language of truth.
Seneca the Younger
Vice is contagious, and there is no trusting the sound and the sick together.
Seneca the Younger
It is sometimes pleasant even to act like a madman.
Seneca the Younger
You want to live-but do you know how to live? You are scared of dying-and, tell me, is the kind of life you lead really any different from being dead?
Seneca the Younger
Throughout the whole of life one must continue to learn to live and what will amaze you even more, throughout life you must learn to die. Seneca (Roman philosopher)
Seneca the Younger
If God adds another day to our life, let us receive it gladly.
Seneca the Younger
A man who suffers or stresses before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary
Seneca the Younger
If virtue precede us every step will be safe.
Seneca the Younger
All my life I have been seeking to climb out of the pit of my besetting sins and I cannot do it and I never will unless a hand is let down to draw me up.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man then followed a simple way of life-which is hardly surprising when you consider how even in this modern age he seeks to be as little encumbered as he possibly can.
Seneca the Younger
As Lucretius says: 'Thus ever from himself doth each man flee.' But what does he gain if he does not escape from himself? He ever follows himself and weighs upon himself as his own most burdensome companion. And so we ought to understand that what we struggle with is the fault, not of the places, but of ourselves
Seneca the Younger
He who is brave is free.
Seneca the Younger
In a moment the ashes are made, but a forest is a long time growing.
Seneca the Younger
