Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all. It sets the slave at liberty, carries the banished man home, and places all mortals on the same level, insomuch that life itself were a punishment without it.
Seneca the Younger

More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Solitude and company may be allowed to take their turns: the one creates in us the love of mankind, the other that of ourselves solitude relieves us when we are sick of company, and conversation when we are weary of being alone, so that the one cures the other. There is no man so miserable as he that is at a loss how to use his time
Seneca the Younger
Philosophy does not regard pedigree, she received Plato not as a noble, but she made him one.
Seneca the Younger
Retire into yourself as much as possible. Associate with people who are likely to improve you. Welcome those whom you are capable of improving. The process is a mutual one. People learn as they teach.
Seneca the Younger
Ignorance is the cause of fear.
Seneca the Younger
In every good man a God doth dwell.
Seneca the Younger
We sought therefore to amend our will, and not to suffer it through despite to languish long time in error.
Seneca the Younger
It's not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it.
Seneca the Younger
When modesty has once perished, it will never revive.
Seneca the Younger
Just as I shall select my ship when I am about to go on a voyage, or my house when I propose to take a residence, so shall I choose my death when I am about to depart from life.
Seneca the Younger
Shame may restrain what law does not prohibit.
Seneca the Younger

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
The swiftness of time is infinite, as is still more evident when we look back on the past.
Seneca the Younger
Do what you should, not what you may.
Seneca the Younger
It is the fault of youth that it cannot restrain its own impetuosity.
Seneca the Younger
We deliberate about the parcels of life, but not about life itself, and so we arrive all unawares at its different epochs, and have the trouble of beginning all again. And so finally it is that we do not walk as men confidently towards death, but let death come suddenly upon us.
Seneca the Younger
Men love their vices and hate them at the same time.
Seneca the Younger
Every man prefers belief to the exercise of judgment.
Seneca the Younger
To the stars through difficulties.
Seneca the Younger
Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness.
Seneca the Younger
