More quotes by Seneca the Younger
However wretched a fellow-mortal may be, he is still a member of our common species.
Seneca the Younger
Man is a reasoning Animal.
Seneca the Younger
While the fates permit, live happily life speeds on with hurried step, and with winged days the wheel of the headlong year is turned.
Seneca the Younger
Those who boast of their descent, brag on what they owe to others.
Seneca the Younger
A great step toward independence is a good-humoured stomach.
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 that does good to another does good also to himself.
Seneca the Younger
Our (the Stoic) motto, as you know, is live according to nature.
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
There is nothing the busy man is less busied with than living there is nothing harder to learn.
Seneca the Younger
The voice is nothing but beaten air.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever is well said by another, is mine.
Seneca the Younger
The law of the pleasure in having done anything for another is, that the one almost immediately forgets having given, and the other remembers eternally having received.
Seneca the Younger
Solitude and company may be allowed to take their turns: the one creates in us the love of mankind, the other that of ourselves solitude relieves us when we are sick of company, and conversation when we are weary of being alone, so that the one cures the other. There is no man so miserable as he that is at a loss how to use his time
Seneca the Younger
The first step towards amendment is the recognition of error.
Seneca the Younger
It is never too late to turn from the errors of our ways: He who repents of his sins is almost innocent.
Seneca the Younger
It passes in the world for greatness of mind, to be perpetually giving and loading people with bounties but it is one thing to know how to give and another thing not to know how to keep. Give me a heart that is easy and open, but I will have no holes in it let it be bountiful with judgment, but I will have nothing run out of it I know not how.
Seneca the Younger
He who receives a benefit with gratitude, repays the first installment of it.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.
Seneca the Younger
Genius has never been accepted without a measure of condonement.
Seneca the Younger
