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

Seneca the Younger
That comes too late that comes for the asking.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The wretched hasten to hear of their own miseries.
Seneca the Younger
It is the sign of a weak mind to be unable to bear wealth.
Seneca the Younger
Our minds must relax: they will rise better and keener after rest. Just as you must not force fertile farmland, as uninterrupted productivity will soon exhaust it, so constant effort will sap our mental vigour, while a short period of rest and relaxation will restore our powers. Unremitting effort leads to a kind of mental dullness and lethargy.
Seneca the Younger
What you think is the summit is only a step up
Seneca the Younger
The velocity with which time flies is infinite, as is most apparent to those who look back.
Seneca the Younger
Time is the greatest remedy for anger.
Seneca the Younger
The man who has learned to triumph over sorrow wears his miseries as though they were sacred fillets upon his brow and nothing is so entirely admirable as a man bravely wretched.
Seneca the Younger
Leisure without study is death, and the grave of a living man.
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
