More quotes by Seneca the Younger
There is as much greatness of mind in acknowledging a good turn, as in doing it.
Seneca the Younger
What was hard to suffer is sweet to remember.
Seneca the Younger
Everything that exceeds the bounds of moderation has an unstable foundation.
Seneca the Younger
The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Seneca the Younger
Why do I not seek some real good one which I could feel, not one which I could display?
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
What is true belongs to me!
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
We are wrong in looking forward to death: in great measure it's past already.
Seneca the Younger
All my life I have been seeking to climb out of the pit of my besetting sins and I cannot do it and I never will unless a hand is let down to draw me up.
Seneca the Younger
Fate leads the willing, and drags along the reluctant.
Seneca the Younger
Live among others as if God beheld you speak to God as if others were listening.
Seneca the Younger
Life, if thou knowest how to use it, is long enough.
Seneca the Younger
Some there are that torment themselves afresh with the memory of what is past others, again, afflict themselves with the apprehension of evils to come and very ridiculously both - for the one does not now concern us, and the other not yet ... One should count each day as a separate life.
Seneca the Younger
Refuse to let the thought of death bother you: nothing is grim when we have escaped that fear.
Seneca the Younger
Beauty is such a fleeting blossom, how can wisdom rely upon its momentary delight?
Seneca the Younger
For men in a state of freedom had thatch for their shelter, while slavery dwells beneath marble and gold.
Seneca the Younger
Although a man has so well purged his mind that nothing can trouble or deceive him any more, yet he reached his present innocence through sin.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so wretched or foolish as to anticipate misfortunes. What madness it is to be expecting evil before it comes.
Seneca the Younger
He who is brave is free.
Seneca the Younger
