Slavery holds few men fast the greater number hold fast their slavery.
Seneca the Younger
Self-denial is the best riches.
Seneca the Younger
He who seeks wisdom is a wise man he who thinks he has found it is mad.
Seneca the Younger
It is within the power of every man to live his life nobly, but of no man to live forever. Yet so many of us hope that life will go on forever, and so few aspire to live nobly.
Seneca the Younger
Religion worships God, while superstition profanes that worship.
Seneca the Younger
It is only the surprise and newness of the thing which makes that misfortune terrible which by premeditation might be made easy to us. For that which some people make light by sufferance, others do by foresight.
Seneca the Younger
True praise comes often even to the lowly false praise only to the strong.
Seneca the Younger
Let wickedness escape as it may at the bar, it never fails of doing justice upon itself for every guilty person is his own hangman.
Seneca the Younger
It is the constant fault and inseparable evil quality of ambition, that it never looks behind it.
Seneca the Younger
You have to persevere and fortify your pertinacity until the will to good becomes a disposition to good.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Even after a bad harvest there must be sowing.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The language of truth is unvarnished enough.
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
For men in a state of freedom had thatch for their shelter, while slavery dwells beneath marble and gold.
Seneca the Younger
We are as answerable for what we give as for what we receive nay, the misplacing of a benefit is worse than the not receiving of it for the one is another person's fault, but the other is mine.
Seneca the Younger
He who dreads hostility too much is unfit to rule.
Seneca the Younger
That comes too late that comes for the asking.
Seneca the Younger
Most people fancy themselves innocent of those crimes of which they cannot be convicted.
Seneca the Younger
