More quotes by Seneca the Younger
How can a thing possibly govern others when it cannot be governed itself?
Seneca the Younger
People do not die - they kill themselves.
Seneca the Younger
While we teach, we learn.
Seneca the Younger
Life is divided into three periods: that which has been, that which is, that which will be. Of these the present is short, the future is doubtful, the past is certain.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Shall I tell you what philosophy holds out to humanity? Counsel...You are called in to help the unhappy.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so contemptible as the sentiments of the mob.
Seneca the Younger
Shall I tell you what the real evil is? To cringe to the things that are called evils, to surrender to them our freedom, in defiance of which we ought to face any suffering.
Seneca the Younger
Poverty needs much, avarice everything.
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
It goes far toward making a man faithful to let him understand that you think him so and he that does but suspect I will deceive him, gives me a sort of right to do so.
Seneca the Younger
What difference does it make, after all, what your position in life is if you dislike it yourself?
Seneca the Younger
The things that are essential are acquired with little bother it is the luxuries that call for toil and effort.
Seneca the Younger
We are born subjects, and to obey God is perfect liberty. He that does this shall be free, safe and happy.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing more miserable and foolish than anticipation.
Seneca the Younger
