Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Pain, scorned by yonder gout-ridden wretch, endured by yonder dyspeptic in the midst of his dainties, borne bravely by the girl in travail. Slight thou art, if I can bear thee, short thou art if I cannot bear thee!
Seneca the Younger
While you teach, you learn.
Seneca the Younger
For greed, all nature is too little.
Seneca the Younger
There are more people abusive to others than lie open to abuse themselves but the humor goes round, and he that laughs at me today will have somebody to laugh at him tomorrow.
Seneca the Younger
Some laws, though unwritten, are more firmly established than all written laws.
Seneca the Younger
Let him who has given a favor be silent let he who has received it tell it.
Seneca the Younger
My joy in learning is partly that it enables me to teach.
Seneca the Younger
That which takes effect by chance is not an art.
Seneca the Younger
It is the property of a great and good mind to covet, not the fruit of good deeds, but good deeds themselves, and to seek for a good man even after having met with bad men.
Seneca the Younger
Greatness stands upon a precipice, and if prosperity carries a man never so little beyond his poise, it overbears and dashes him to pieces.
Seneca the Younger
Calamity is virtue's opportunity.
Seneca the Younger
