More quotes by Seneca the Younger
If you are wise, You will mingle one thing with the other- Not hoping without doubt Not doubting without hope.
Seneca the Younger
Everything may happen.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing more miserable and foolish than anticipation.
Seneca the Younger
Most men ebb and flow in wretchedness between the fear of death and the hardship of life they are unwilling to live, and yet they do not know how to die.
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
Enjoy present pleasures in such a way as not to injure future ones.
Seneca the Younger
The worst evil of all is to leave the ranks of the living before one dies.
Seneca the Younger
A hungry people listens not to reason, not cares for justice, nor is bent by any prayers.
Seneca the Younger
What must be shall be and that which is a necessity to him that struggles, is little more than choice to him that is willing.
Seneca the Younger
Rehearse death. To say this is to tell a person to rehearse his freedom. A person who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave. He is above, or at any rate, beyond the reach of, all political powers.
Seneca the Younger
He who comes to a conclusion when the other side is unheard, may have been just in his conclusion, but yet has not been just in his conduct.
Seneca the Younger
There is no fair wind for one who knows not whither he is bound.
Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness is nothing else but a voluntary madness.
Seneca the Younger
What is true belongs to me!
Seneca the Younger
Persistent kindness conquers the ill-disposed.
Seneca the Younger
Other men's sins are before our eyes our own are behind our backs.
Seneca the Younger
It does not matter how many books you have, but how good the books are which you have.
Seneca the Younger
It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness.
Seneca the Younger
There in no one more unfortunate than the man who has never been unfortunate. for it has never been in his power to try himself.
Seneca the Younger
No evil is without its compensation. The less money, the less trouble the less favor, the less envy. Even in those cases which put us out of wits, it is not the loss itself, but the estimate of the loss that troubles us.
Seneca the Younger
