More quotes by Seneca the Younger
As gratitude is a necessary, and a glorious virtue, so also it is an obvious, a cheap, and an easy one so obvious that wherever there is life there is a place for it so cheap, that the covetous man may be gratified without expense, and so easy that the sluggard may be so likewise without labor.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing in the world so much admired as a man who knows how to bear unhappiness with courage.
Seneca the Younger
A thousand approaches lie open to death.
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 worse a person is the less he feels it.
Seneca the Younger
He who boasts of his descent, praises the deed of another.
Seneca the Younger
The final hour when we cease to exist does not itself bring death it merely of itself completes the death-process. We reach death at that moment, but we have been a long time on the way.
Seneca the Younger
Let the man, who would be grateful, think of repaying a kindness, even while receiving it.
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
The velocity with which time flies is infinite, as is most apparent to those who look back.
Seneca the Younger
Abstinence is easier than temperance.
Seneca the Younger
I will govern my life and thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one and read the other, for what does it signify to make anything a secret to my neighbor, when to God, who is the searcher of our hearts, all our privacies are open?
Seneca the Younger
We are wrong in looking forward to death: in great measure it's past already.
Seneca the Younger
Life without the courage for death is slavery.
Seneca the Younger
Whom they have injured they also hate.
Seneca the Younger
He who has fostered the sweet poison of love by fondling it, finds it too late to refuse the yoke which he has of his own accord assumed.
Seneca the Younger
We should give as we would receive, cheerfully, quickly, and without hesitation for there is no grace in a benefit that sticks to the fingers.
Seneca the Younger
If a man does not know to what port he is steering, no wind is favorable to him. Ignoranti quem portum petat, nullus suus ventus est.
Seneca the Younger
Crime when it succeeds is called virtue.
Seneca the Younger
The mind does not easily unlearn what it has been long in learning.
Seneca the Younger
