More quotes by Seneca the Younger
It is often better not to see an insult than to avenge it.
Seneca the Younger
Obedience is yielded more readily to one who commands gently.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man lacked nothing but needed a great number of things, whereas the fool, on the other hand, needs nothing (for he does not know how to use anything) but lacks everything.
Seneca the Younger
Freedom is not being a slave to any circumstance, to any constraint, to any chance it means compelling Fortune to enter the lists on equal terms.
Seneca the Younger
Freedom can't be kept for nothing. If you set a high value on liberty, you must set a low value on everything else.
Seneca the Younger
He that by harshness of nature rules his family with an iron hand is as truly a tyrant as he who misgoverns a nation.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind.
Seneca the Younger
If virtue precede us every step will be safe.
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
God never repents of what He has first resolved upon.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing the busy man is less busied with than living there is nothing harder to learn.
Seneca the Younger
The language of truth is unvarnished enough.
Seneca the Younger
A man who has taken your time recognises no debt yet it is the one he can never repay.
Seneca the Younger
What you do for an ungrateful man is thrown away.
Seneca the Younger
Why does no one confess his sins? Because he is yet in them. It is for a man who has awoke from sleep to tell his dreams.
Seneca the Younger
There is as much greatness of mind in the owning of a good turn as in the doing of it and we must no more force a requital out of season than be wanting in it.
Seneca the Younger
The first step in a person's salvation is knowledge of their sin.
Seneca the Younger
It is a tedious thing to be always beginning life they live badly who always begin to live.
Seneca the Younger
Vice is contagious, and there is no trusting the sound and the sick together.
Seneca the Younger
