Seneca the Younger
Dangerous is wrath concealed. Hatred proclaimed doth lose its chance of wreaking vengeance.

Seneca the Younger
Success is not greedy, as people think, but insignificant. That is why it satisfies nobody.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness doesn't create vices, but it brings them to the fore.
Seneca the Younger
Anger is like a ruin, which, in falling upon its victim, breaks itself to pieces.
Seneca the Younger
It is easy enough to arouse in a listener a desire for what is honorable for in every one of us nature has laid the foundations or sown the seeds of the virtues. We are born to them all, all of us, and when a person comes along with the necessary stimulus, then those qualities of the personality are awakened, so to speak, from their slumber.
Seneca the Younger
That which takes effect by chance is not an art.
Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness is nothing else but a voluntary madness.
Seneca the Younger
He who blushes at riding in a rattletrap, will boast when he rides in style.
Seneca the Younger
I know that nothing comes to pass but what God appoints our fate is decreed, and things do not happen by chance, but every man's portion of joy and sorrow is predetermined.
Seneca the Younger
