More quotes by Seneca the Younger
A troubled countenance oft discloses much.
Seneca the Younger
Those alone are wise who know how to love.
Seneca the Younger
Ponder for a long time whether you shall admit a given person to your friendship but when you have decided to admit him, welcome him with all your heart and soul. Speak as boldly with him as with yourself.
Seneca the Younger
Associate with people who are likely to improve you.
Seneca the Younger
That which takes effect by chance is not an art.
Seneca the Younger
Night brings our troubles to the light, rather than banishes them.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Economy is in itself a great source of revenue.
Seneca the Younger
Some there are that torment themselves afresh with the memory of what is past others, again, afflict themselves with the apprehension of evils to come and very ridiculously both - for the one does not now concern us, and the other not yet ... One should count each day as a separate life.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever is well said by another, is mine.
Seneca the Younger
Death is a release from and an end of all pains.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue depends partly upon training and partly upon practice you must learn first, and then strengthen your learning by action. If this be true, not only do the doctrines of wisdom help us but the precepts also, which check and banish our emotions by a sort of official decree.
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
Some cures are worse than the dangers they combat.
Seneca the Younger
The willing, destiny guides them the unwilling, destiny drags them.
Seneca the Younger
The swiftness of time is infinite, as is still more evident when we look back on the past.
Seneca the Younger
It makes a great deal of difference whether one wills not to sin or has not the knowledge to sin.
Seneca the Younger
A person's fears are lighter when the danger is at hand.
Seneca the Younger
It is sweet to mingle tears with tears Griefs, where they wound in solitude, Wound more deeply.
Seneca the Younger
One hand washes the other.
Seneca the Younger
