More quotes by Seneca the Younger
For what else is Nature but God and the Divine Reason that pervades the whole universe and all its parts.
Seneca the Younger
The deferring of anger is the best antidote to anger.
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
Simple is the language of truth.
Seneca the Younger
What difference does it make, after all, what your position in life is if you dislike it yourself?
Seneca the Younger
Consult your friend on all things, especially on those which respect yourself. His counsel may then be useful where your own self-love might impair your judgment.
Seneca the Younger
Misfortunes, in fine, cannot be avoided but they may be sweetened, if not overcome, and our lives made happy by philosophy.
Seneca the Younger
Our minds must relax: they will rise better and keener after rest. Just as you must not force fertile farmland, as uninterrupted productivity will soon exhaust it, so constant effort will sap our mental vigour, while a short period of rest and relaxation will restore our powers. Unremitting effort leads to a kind of mental dullness and lethargy.
Seneca the Younger
Great is he who enjoys his earthenware as if it were plate, and not less great is the man to whom all his plate is no more that earthenware.
Seneca the Younger
How many discoveries are reserved for the ages to come when our memory shall be no more, for this world of ours contains matter for investigation for all generations.
Seneca the Younger
Money has never yet made anyone rich.
Seneca the Younger
A large part of mankind is angry not with the sins, but with the sinners.
Seneca the Younger
True love can fear no one.
Seneca the Younger
The highest duty and the highest proof of wisdom - that deed and word should be in accord.
Seneca the Younger
Great grief does not of itself put an end to itself.
Seneca the Younger
Our fears are always more numerous than our dangers.
Seneca the Younger
Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Give up no science entirely for science is but one.
Seneca the Younger
He who forbids not sin when he may, commands it
Seneca the Younger
Epicurus says that you should rather have regard to the company with whom you eat and drink, than to what you eat and drink.
Seneca the Younger
Let not the enjoyment of pleasures now within your grasp, be carried to such excess as to incapacitate you from future repetition.
Seneca the Younger
