More quotes by Seneca the Younger
He who receives a benefit with gratitude, repays the first installment of it.
Seneca the Younger
Man's ideal state is realized when he has fulfilled the purpose for which he is born. And what is it that reason demands of him? Something very easy-that he live in accordance with his own nature.
Seneca the Younger
Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness.
Seneca the Younger
If you live according to nature, you never will be poor if according to the world's caprice, you will never be rich.
Seneca the Younger
Every guilty person is his own hangman.
Seneca the Younger
It is easy enough to arouse in a listener a desire for what is honorable for in every one of us nature has laid the foundations or sown the seeds of the virtues. We are born to them all, all of us, and when a person comes along with the necessary stimulus, then those qualities of the personality are awakened, so to speak, from their slumber.
Seneca the Younger
It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness.
Seneca the Younger
If God adds another day to our life, let us receive it gladly.
Seneca the Younger
Let ease and rest at times be given to the weary.
Seneca the Younger
Life, if thou knowest how to use it, is long enough.
Seneca the Younger
A hungry people listens not to reason, not cares for justice, nor is bent by any prayers.
Seneca the Younger
It is easier to grow in dignity than to make a start.
Seneca the Younger
The path of precept is long, that of example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
A friend always loves, but he who loves is not always a friend.
Seneca the Younger
The willing, destiny guides them the unwilling, destiny drags them.
Seneca the Younger
He who has great power should use it lightly.
Seneca the Younger
Conversation has a kind of charm about it, an insuating and insidious something that elicits secrets from us just like love or liquor.
Seneca the Younger
The man who does something under orders is not unhappy he is unhappy who does something against his will.
Seneca the Younger
Those griefs burn most which gall in secret.
Seneca the Younger
It is within the power of every man to live his life nobly, but of no man to live forever. Yet so many of us hope that life will go on forever, and so few aspire to live nobly.
Seneca the Younger
