More quotes by Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
We are all sinful. Therefore whatever we blame in another we shall find in our own bosoms.
Seneca the Younger
Crime requires further crime to conceal it.
Seneca the Younger
Democracy is more cruel than wars or tyrants.
Seneca the Younger
True love hates and will not bear delay.
Seneca the Younger
He who boasts of his pedigree praises that which does not belong to him.
Seneca the Younger
Wisdom does not show itself so much in precept as in life - in firmness of mind and a mastery of appetite. It teaches us to do as well as to talk and to make our words and actions all of a color.
Seneca the Younger
His head was turned by too great success.
Seneca the Younger
It's the admirer and the watcher who provoke us to all the inanities we commit.
Seneca the Younger
I am telling you to be a slow-speaking person.
Seneca the Younger
He robs present ills of their power who has perceived their coming beforehand.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever has overstepped its due bounds is always in a state of instability.
Seneca the Younger
Philosophy does not regard pedigree, she received Plato not as a noble, but she made him one.
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
Ignorant people see life as either existence or non-existence, but wise men see it beyond both existence and non-existence to something that transcends them both this is an observation of the Middle Way.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man lives as long as he should, not just as long as he likes.
Seneca the Younger
For many men, the acquisition of wealth does not end their troubles, it only changes them.
Seneca the Younger
That moderation which nature prescribes, which limits our desires by resources restricted to our needs, has abandoned the field it has now come to this -- that to want only what is enough is a sign both of boorishness and of utter destitution.
Seneca the Younger
Human affairs are like a chess-game: only those who do not take it seriously can be called good players. Life is like an earthen pot: only when it is shattered, does it manifest its emptiness.
Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness is nothing but voluntary madness.
Seneca the Younger
