More quotes by Seneca the Younger
As for old age, embrace and love it. It abounds with pleasure if you know how to use it. The gradually declining years are among the sweetest in a man's life, and I maintain that, even when they have reached the extreme limit, they have their pleasure still.
Seneca the Younger
He who tenders doubtful safety to those in trouble refuses it.
Seneca the Younger
Dissembling profiteth nothing a feigned countenance, and slightly forged externally, deceiveth but very few.
Seneca the Younger
Money does all things for reward. Some are pious and honest as long as they thrive upon it, but if the devil himself gives better wages, they soon change their party.
Seneca the Younger
I will have a care of being a slave to myself, for it is a perpetual, a shameful, and the heaviest of all servitudes and this may be done by moderate desires.
Seneca the Younger
Gold is tried by fire, brave men by adversity.
Seneca the Younger
The willing, destiny guides them the unwilling, destiny drags them.
Seneca the Younger
Light griefs are plaintive , but great ones are dumb
Seneca the Younger
Simple is the language of truth.
Seneca the Younger
We are members of one great body. Nature planted in us a mutual love, and fitted us for a social life. We must consider that we were born for the good of the whole.
Seneca the Younger
If I only have the will to be grateful, I am so.
Seneca the Younger
We are as answerable for what we give as for what we receive nay, the misplacing of a benefit is worse than the not receiving of it for the one is another person's fault, but the other is mine.
Seneca the Younger
There is as much greatness of mind in the owning of a good turn as in the doing of it and we must no more force a requital out of season than be wanting in it.
Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness doesn't create vices, but it brings them to the fore.
Seneca the Younger
The path of precept is long, that of example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
We are more easily led part by part to an understanding of the whole. -Facilius per partes in cognitionem totius adducimur
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
Retirement without literary amusements is death itself, and a living tomb.
Seneca the Younger
We live not according to reason, but according to fashion.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is more disgraceful than that an old man should have nothing to show to prove that he has lived long, except his years.
Seneca the Younger
