More quotes by Seneca the Younger
The mind is never right but when it is at peace within itself the soul is in heaven even while it is in the flesh, if it be purged of its natural corruptions, and taken up with divine thoughts, and contemplations.
Seneca the Younger
Look at the stars lighting up the sky: no one of them stays in the same place.
Seneca the Younger
The expression of truth is simplicity.
Seneca the Younger
Our posterity will wonder about our ignorance of things so plain.
Seneca the Younger
When thou hast profited so much that thou respectest even thyself, thou mayst let go thy tutor.
Seneca the Younger
It is easy enough to arouse in a listener a desire for what is honorable for in every one of us nature has laid the foundations or sown the seeds of the virtues. We are born to them all, all of us, and when a person comes along with the necessary stimulus, then those qualities of the personality are awakened, so to speak, from their slumber.
Seneca the Younger
The philosopher: he alone knows how to live for himself. He is the one, in fact, who knows the fundamental thing: how to live.
Seneca the Younger
Behold a contest worthy of a god, a brave man matched in conflict with adversity.
Seneca the Younger
I know that nothing comes to pass but what God appoints our fate is decreed, and things do not happen by chance, but every man's portion of joy and sorrow is predetermined.
Seneca the Younger
We are members of one great body. Nature planted in us a mutual love, and fitted us for a social life. We must consider that we were born for the good of the whole.
Seneca the Younger
How much does great prosperity overspread the mind with darkness.
Seneca the Younger
Who needs forgiveness, should the same extend with readiness.
Seneca the Younger
Anger is like a ruin, which, in falling upon its victim, breaks itself to pieces.
Seneca the Younger
If you don't know what port you are sailing to, no wind is favourable.
Seneca the Younger
To meditate an injury is to commit one.
Seneca the Younger
Refrain from following the example of those whose craving is for attention, not their own improvement.
Seneca the Younger
It is the power of the mind to be unconquerable.
Seneca the Younger
What you think is the summit is only a step up
Seneca the Younger
Life without the courage for death is slavery.
Seneca the Younger
It is only the surprise and newness of the thing which makes that misfortune terrible which by premeditation might be made easy to us. For that which some people make light by sufferance, others do by foresight.
Seneca the Younger
