More quotes by Seneca the Younger
There is no greater punishment of wickedness that that it is dissatisfied with itself and its deeds.
Seneca the Younger
It passes in the world for greatness of mind, to be perpetually giving and loading people with bounties but it is one thing to know how to give and another thing not to know how to keep. Give me a heart that is easy and open, but I will have no holes in it let it be bountiful with judgment, but I will have nothing run out of it I know not how.
Seneca the Younger
The Fates guide those who go willingly. Those who do not, they drag.
Seneca the Younger
If you are surprised at the number of our maladies, count our cooks.

Death's the discharge of our debt of sorrow.

Seneca the Younger
If God adds another day to our life, let us receive it gladly.
Seneca the Younger
In every good man a God doth dwell.
Seneca the Younger
Prudence and love cannot be mixed you can end love, but never moderate it.
