More quotes by 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
If thou wishest to get rid of thy evil propensities, thou must keep far from evil companions.
Seneca the Younger
Religion worships God, while superstition profanes that worship.
Seneca the Younger
If you don't know what port you are sailing to, no wind is favourable.
Seneca the Younger
Some cures are worse than the dangers they combat.
Seneca the Younger
I require myself not to be equal to the best, but to be better then the bad.
Seneca the Younger
The mind that is anxious about future events is miserable.
Seneca the Younger
He that makes himself famous by his eloquence, justice or arms illustrates his extraction, let it be never so mean and gives inestimable reputation to his parents. We should never have heard of Sophroniscus, but for his son, Socrates nor of Ariosto and Gryllus, if it had not been for Xenophon and Plato.
Seneca the Younger
Life's neither a good nor an evil: it's a field for good and evil.
Seneca the Younger
Great is he who enjoys his earthenware as if it were plate, and not less great is the man to whom all his plate is no more that earthenware.
Seneca the Younger
This body is not a home, but an inn and that only for a short time.
Seneca the Younger
Light troubles speak the weighty are struck dumb.
Seneca the Younger
See what daily exercise does for one.
Seneca the Younger
It is the power of the mind to be unconquerable.
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
Find a path or make one.
Seneca the Younger
Constant exposure to dangers will breed contempt for them.
Seneca the Younger
Man is a reasoning Animal.
Seneca the Younger
Dissembling profiteth nothing a feigned countenance, and slightly forged externally, deceiveth but very few.
Seneca the Younger
To the person who does not know where he wants to go there is no favorable wind.
Seneca the Younger
