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.

More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Persistent kindness conquers the ill-disposed.
Seneca the Younger
Why does no one confess his sins? Because he is yet in them. It is for a man who has awoke from sleep to tell his dreams.
Seneca the Younger
To things which you bear with impatience you should accustom yourself, and, by habit you will bear them well.
Seneca the Younger
Dissembling profiteth nothing a feigned countenance, and slightly forged externally, deceiveth but very few.
Seneca the Younger
Those things which make the infernal regions terrible, the darkness, the prison, the river of flaming fire, the judgment seat, are all a fable, with which the poets amuse themselves, and by them agitate us with vain terrors.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever has overstepped its due bounds is always in a state of instability.
Seneca the Younger
The wretched hasten to hear of their own miseries.
Seneca the Younger
Be silent as to services you have rendered, but speak of favours you have received.
Seneca the Younger
Rehearse death. To say this is to tell a person to rehearse his freedom. A person who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave. He is above, or at any rate, beyond the reach of, all political powers.
Seneca the Younger
The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Seneca the Younger
There is as much greatness of mind in the owning of a good turn as in the doing of it and we must no more force a requital out of season than be wanting in it.
Seneca the Younger
The philosopher: he alone knows how to live for himself. He is the one, in fact, who knows the fundamental thing: how to live.
Seneca the Younger
Eternal law has arranged nothing better than this, that it has given us one way in to life, but many ways out.
Seneca the Younger
Such is the blindness, nay the insanity of mankind, that some men are driven to death by the fear of it.
Seneca the Younger
The worse a person is the less he feels it.
Seneca the Younger
Other men's sins are before our eyes our own are behind our backs.
Seneca the Younger
The thing that matters is not what you bear, but how you bear it
Seneca the Younger
Fidelity purchased with money, money can destroy.
Seneca the Younger
The path of precept is long, that of example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
A man who suffers or stresses before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary
Seneca the Younger
