More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Every man prefers belief to the exercise of judgment.
Seneca the Younger
It is never too late to turn from the errors of our ways: He who repents of his sins is almost innocent.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing the busy man is less busied with than living there is nothing harder to learn.
Seneca the Younger
How much does great prosperity overspread the mind with darkness.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so false as human life, nothing so treacherous. God knows no one would have accepted it as a gift, if it had not been given without our knowledge.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Death is a release from and an end of all pains.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The Best sign of Wisdom is the consistency between the words and deeds.
Seneca the Younger
We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.
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
Eternal law has arranged nothing better than this, that it has given us one way in to life, but many ways out.
Seneca the Younger
Greatness stands upon a precipice, and if prosperity carries a man never so little beyond his poise, it overbears and dashes him to pieces.
Seneca the Younger
Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Give up no science entirely for science is but one.
Seneca the Younger
While we wait for life, life passes
Seneca the Younger
