More quotes by Seneca the Younger
What difference does it make how much you have? What you do not have amounts to much more.
Seneca the Younger
True friends are the whole world to one another and he that is a friend to himself is also a friend to mankind. Even in my studies the greatest delight I take is of imparting it to others for there is no relish to me in the possessing of anything without a partner.
Seneca the Younger
One hand washes the other.
Seneca the Younger
The ascent from earth to heaven is not easy.
Seneca the Younger
To preserve the life of citizens, is the greatest virtue in the father of his country.
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
We suffer more often in imagination than in reality. [We must learn to control and focus the force of our imagination on the good, bright side so it is positive and constructive helping ourselves and others, rather than let its force focus on the bad, dark side so it is negative and destructive hurting ourselves and others!]
Seneca the Younger
You learn to know a pilot in a storm.
Seneca the Younger
Our (the Stoic) motto, as you know, is live according to nature.

Seneca the Younger
Life is short and art is long.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.
Seneca the Younger
We are as answerable for what we give as for what we receive nay, the misplacing of a benefit is worse than the not receiving of it for the one is another person's fault, but the other is mine.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.
Seneca the Younger
Human nature is so constituted that insults sink deeper than kindnesses the remembrance of the latter soon passes away, while that of the former is treasured in the memory.
Seneca the Younger
There are more people abusive to others than lie open to abuse themselves but the humor goes round, and he that laughs at me today will have somebody to laugh at him tomorrow.
Seneca the Younger
Those that are a friend to themselves are sure to be a friend to all.
Seneca the Younger
Life, if thou knowest how to use it, is long enough.
Seneca the Younger
