Whatever we owe, it is our part to find where to pay it, and to do it without asking, too for whether the creditor be good or bad, the debt is still the same.

More quotes by Seneca the Younger
What must be shall be and that which is a necessity to him that struggles, is little more than choice to him that is willing.
Seneca the Younger
Success is not greedy, as people think, but insignificant. That is why it satisfies nobody.
Seneca the Younger
If you are surprised at the number of our maladies, count our cooks.
Seneca the Younger
Unjust rule does not last forever.
Seneca the Younger
What difference does it make, after all, what your position in life is if you dislike it yourself?
Seneca the Younger
To preserve the life of citizens, is the greatest virtue in the father of his country.
Seneca the Younger
Those that are a friend to themselves are sure to be a friend to all.
Seneca the Younger
I had rather never receive a kindness than never bestow one.
Seneca the Younger
Pleasure dies at the very moment when it charms us most.
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
We have lost morals, justice, honor, piety and faith, and that sense of shame which, once lost, can never be restored.
Seneca the Younger
As for old age, embrace and love it. It abounds with pleasure if you know how to use it. The gradually declining years are among the sweetest in a man's life, and I maintain that, even when they have reached the extreme limit, they have their pleasure still.
Seneca the Younger
Dangerous is wrath concealed. Hatred proclaimed doth lose its chance of wreaking vengeance.
Seneca the Younger
A coward calls himself cautious, a miser thrifty.
Seneca the Younger
He who dreads hostility too much is unfit to rule.
Seneca the Younger
There is no fair wind for one who knows not whither he is bound.
Seneca the Younger
The key to getting everything you want is to never put all your begs in one ask-it!
Seneca the Younger
May be is very well, but Must is the master. It is my duty to show justice without recompense.
Seneca the Younger
No one's so old that he mayn't with decency hope for one more day.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue depends partly upon training and partly upon practice you must learn first, and then strengthen your learning by action. If this be true, not only do the doctrines of wisdom help us but the precepts also, which check and banish our emotions by a sort of official decree.
Seneca the Younger
