More quotes by 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
God never repents of what He has first resolved upon.
Seneca the Younger
Those alone are wise who know how to love.
Seneca the Younger
We suffer more often in imagination than in reality. [We must learn to control and focus the force of our imagination on the good, bright side so it is positive and constructive helping ourselves and others, rather than let its force focus on the bad, dark side so it is negative and destructive hurting ourselves and others!]
Seneca the Younger
The mind does not easily unlearn what it has been long in learning.
Seneca the Younger
Men learn while they teach.
Seneca the Younger
The poor are not the people with less, which is less desirable
Seneca the Younger
Look at the stars lighting up the sky: no one of them stays in the same place.
Seneca the Younger
The man who has learned to triumph over sorrow wears his miseries as though they were sacred fillets upon his brow and nothing is so entirely admirable as a man bravely wretched.
Seneca the Younger
His head was turned by too great success.
Seneca the Younger
You must know for which harbor you are headed, if you are to catch the right wind to take you there.
Seneca the Younger
Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.
Seneca the Younger
Tis not the belly's hunger that costs so much, but its pride
Seneca the Younger
Calamity is virtue's opportunity.
Seneca the Younger
The wretched hasten to hear of their own miseries.
Seneca the Younger
As gratitude is a necessary, and a glorious virtue, so also it is an obvious, a cheap, and an easy one so obvious that wherever there is life there is a place for it so cheap, that the covetous man may be gratified without expense, and so easy that the sluggard may be so likewise without labor.
Seneca the Younger
To be enslaved to oneself is the heaviest of all servitudes.-
Seneca the Younger
Wisdom teaches us to do, as well as to talk and to make our words and actions all of a colour.
Seneca the Younger
Epicurus says, gratitude is a virtue that has commonly profit annexed to it. And where is the virtue that has not? But still the virtue is to be valued for itself, and not for the profit that attends it.
Seneca the Younger
Every guilty person is his own hangman.
Seneca the Younger
