More quotes by Seneca the Younger
We are taught for the schoolroom, not for life.
Seneca the Younger
Learn how to feel joy.
Seneca the Younger
You can tell the character of every man when you see how he receives praise.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever begins, also ends.
Seneca the Younger
We gain so much by quickness, and lose so much by slowness.
Seneca the Younger
He that does good to another does good also to himself.
Seneca the Younger
He, who will not pardon others, must not himself expect pardon.
Seneca the Younger
He who boasts of his descent, praises the deed of another.
Seneca the Younger
Hold fast then to this sound and wholesome rule of life indulge the body only as far as is needful for health.
Seneca the Younger
I know that nothing comes to pass but what God appoints our fate is decreed, and things do not happen by chance, but every man's portion of joy and sorrow is predetermined.
Seneca the Younger
A good person dyes events with his own color . . . and turns whatever happens to his own benefit.
Seneca the Younger
Go on and increase in valor, O boy! this is the path to immortality.
Seneca the Younger
He who seeks wisdom is a wise man he who thinks he has found it is mad.
Seneca the Younger
No man ever became wise by chance.
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
The pleasures of the palate deal with us like Egyptian thieves who strangle those whom they embrace.
Seneca the Younger
Reasons for anxiety will never be lacking, whether born of prosperity or of wretchedness life pushes on in a succession of engrossments. We shall always pray for leisure.
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
Just where death is expecting you is something we cannot know so, for your part, expect him everywhere.
Seneca the Younger
Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light. Life is the wind and the rain and the thunder in the sky. Life is matter and is earth, what is and what is not, and what beyond is in Eternity.
Seneca the Younger
