More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Death's the discharge of our debt of sorrow.
Seneca the Younger
Death is sometimes a punishment, often a gift to many it has been a favor.
Seneca the Younger
To be always fortunate, and to pass through life with a soul that has never known sorrow, is to be ignorant of one half of nature.
Seneca the Younger
See what daily exercise does for one.
Seneca the Younger
He who boasts of his pedigree praises that which does not belong to him.
Seneca the Younger
As Lucretius says: 'Thus ever from himself doth each man flee.' But what does he gain if he does not escape from himself? He ever follows himself and weighs upon himself as his own most burdensome companion. And so we ought to understand that what we struggle with is the fault, not of the places, but of ourselves
Seneca the Younger
Democracy is more cruel than wars or tyrants.
Seneca the Younger
Philosophy is the health of the mind.
Seneca the Younger
A great step toward independence is a good-humoured stomach.
Seneca the Younger
That which has been endured with difficulty is remedied with delight.
Seneca the Younger
No man ever became wise by chance.
Seneca the Younger
Even after a bad harvest there must be sowing.
Seneca the Younger
Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness.
Seneca the Younger
To the person who does not know where he wants to go there is no favorable wind.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so false as human life, nothing so treacherous. God knows no one would have accepted it as a gift, if it had not been given without our knowledge.
Seneca the Younger
The spirit in which a thing is given determines that in which the debt is acknowledged it's the intention, not the face-value of the gift, that's weighed.
Seneca the Younger
The body is not a permanent dwelling, but a sort of inn which is to be left behind when one perceives that one is a burden to the host.
Seneca the Younger
If I only have the will to be grateful, I am so.
Seneca the Younger
The stomach begs and clamors, and listens to no precepts. And yet it is not an obdurate creditor for it is dismissed with small payment if you give it only what you owe, and not as much as you can.
Seneca the Younger
The man who does something under orders is not unhappy he is unhappy who does something against his will.
Seneca the Younger
