He that will do no good offices after a disappointment must stand still, and do just nothing at all. The plough goes on after a barren year and while the ashes are yet warm, we raise a new house upon the ruins of a former.
Seneca the Younger

More quotes by Seneca the Younger
As gratitude is a necessary, and a glorious virtue, so also it is an obvious, a cheap, and an easy one so obvious that wherever there is life there is a place for it so cheap, that the covetous man may be gratified without expense, and so easy that the sluggard may be so likewise without labor.
Seneca the Younger
When I think over what I have said, I envy dumb people.
Seneca the Younger
Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness.
Seneca the Younger
A friend always loves, but he who loves is not always a friend.
Seneca the Younger
How great would be our peril if our slaves began to number us!
Seneca the Younger
That is never too often repeated, which is never sufficiently learned.
Seneca the Younger
Time discovers truth.
Seneca the Younger
What with our hooks, snares, nets, and dogs, we are at war with all living creatures, and nothing comes amiss but that which is either too cheap or too common and all this is to gratify a fantastical palate.
Seneca the Younger
It is the power of the mind to be unconquerable.
Seneca the Younger
A good conscience fears no witness, but a guilty conscience is solicitous even in solitude. If we do nothing but what is honest, let all the world know it. But if otherwise, what does it signify to have nobody else know it, so long as I know it myself? Miserable is he who slights that witness.
Seneca the Younger
He who dreads hostility too much is unfit to rule.
Seneca the Younger
If you are surprised at the number of our maladies, count our cooks.
Seneca the Younger
The gladiator is formulating his plan in the arena or essentially Too late.
Seneca the Younger
We have been born under a monarchy to obey God is freedom.
Seneca the Younger
It is rash to condemn where you are ignorant.
Seneca the Younger
The best cure for anger is delay.
Seneca the Younger
Conversation has a kind of charm about it, an insuating and insidious something that elicits secrets from us just like love or liquor.
Seneca the Younger
A good mind is a lord of a kingdom.
Seneca the Younger
He has committed the crime who profits by it.
Seneca the Younger
Study rather to fill your mind than your coffers knowing that gold and silver were originally mingled with dirt, until avarice or ambition parted them.
Seneca the Younger
