More quotes by Seneca the Younger
A great step toward independence is a good-humoured stomach.
Seneca the Younger
There's one blessing only, the source and cornerstone of beatitude: confidence in self.

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Poverty needs much, avarice everything.
Seneca the Younger
We haven't time to spare to hear whether it was between Italy and Sicily that he ran into a storm or somewhere outside the world we know-when every day we're running into our own storms, spiritual storms, and driven by vice into all the troubles that Ulysses ever knew.
Seneca the Younger
Let him who has granted a favour speak not of it let him who has received one, proclaim it.
Seneca the Younger
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
Drunkenness is nothing else but a voluntary madness.
Seneca the Younger
The bounty of nature is too little for the greedy person.
Seneca the Younger
One hand washes the other.
Seneca the Younger
After death there is nothing.
Seneca the Younger
Cling tooth and nail to the following rule: Not to give in to adversity, never to trust prosperity, and always to take full note of fortune's habit of behaving just as she pleases, treating her as if she were actually going to do everything it is in her power to do. Whatever you have been expecting for some time comes as less of a shock.
Seneca the Younger
When you enter a grove peopled with ancient trees, higher than the ordinary, and shutting out the sky with their thickly inter-twined branches, do not the stately shadows of the wood, the stillness of the place, and the awful gloom of this doomed cavern then strike you with the presence of a deity?
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing the busy man is less busied with than living there is nothing harder to learn.
Seneca the Younger
It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much. ... The life we receive is not short but we make it so we are not ill provided but use what we have wastefully.
Seneca the Younger
Pleasure dies at the very moment when it charms us most.
Seneca the Younger
It is the sign of a weak mind to be unable to bear wealth.
Seneca the Younger
There has never been any great genius without a spice of madness.
Seneca the Younger
