More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Call it Nature, Fate, Fortune all these are names of the one and selfsame God.
Seneca the Younger
It's unknown the place and uncertain the time where death awaits you thus you must expect death to find you, every time, at every place.
Seneca the Younger
A good mind possesses a kingdom.
Seneca the Younger
Why does no one confess his sins? Because he is yet in them. It is for a man who has awoke from sleep to tell his dreams.
Seneca the Younger
Money has never yet made anyone rich.
Seneca the Younger
The greatest loss of time is delay and expectation, which depend upon the future. We let go the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty.
Seneca the Younger
To meditate an injury is to commit one.
Seneca the Younger
We learn not in the school, but in life.
Seneca the Younger
If I only have the will to be grateful, I am so.
Seneca the Younger
I was not born for one corner. The whole world is my native land.
Seneca the Younger
A man is as unhappy as he has convinced himself he is.
Seneca the Younger
Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness. The things that are essential are acquired with little bother it is the luxuries that call for toil and effort. To want simply what is enough nowadays suggests to people primitiveness and squalor.
Seneca the Younger
No one can be happy who has been thrust outside the pale of truth. And there are two ways that one can be removed from this realm: by lying, or by being lied to.
Seneca the Younger
We are all sinful. Therefore whatever we blame in another we shall find in our own bosoms.
Seneca the Younger
The state of that man's mind who feels too intense an interest as to future events, must be most deplorable.
Seneca the Younger
Vice is contagious, and there is no trusting the sound and the sick together.
Seneca the Younger
That which takes effect by chance is not an art.
Seneca the Younger
The pleasures of the palate deal with us like Egyptian thieves who strangle those whom they embrace.
Seneca the Younger
It is a denial of justice not to stretch out a helping hand to the fallen that is the common right of humanity.
Seneca the Younger
Let us ask what is best - not what is customary. Let us love temperance - let us be just - let us refrain from bloodshed.
Seneca the Younger
