More quotes by Seneca the Younger
That comes too late that comes for the asking.
Seneca the Younger
A good mind is a lord of a kingdom.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so bitter that a calm mind cannot find comfort in it.
Seneca the Younger
Just where death is expecting you is something we cannot know so, for your part, expect him everywhere.
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
He that lays down precepts for the governing of our lives, and moderating our passions, obliges humanity not only in the present, but in all future generations.
Seneca the Younger
As Lucretius says: 'Thus ever from himself doth each man flee.' But what does he gain if he does not escape from himself? He ever follows himself and weighs upon himself as his own most burdensome companion. And so we ought to understand that what we struggle with is the fault, not of the places, but of ourselves
Seneca the Younger
Unjust rule does not last forever.
Seneca the Younger
We have lost morals, justice, honor, piety and faith, and that sense of shame which, once lost, can never be restored.
Seneca the Younger
The philosopher: he alone knows how to live for himself. He is the one, in fact, who knows the fundamental thing: how to live.
Seneca the Younger
How much does great prosperity overspread the mind with darkness.
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
Success gives the character of honesty to some classes of wickedness.
Seneca the Younger
The willing, destiny guides them the unwilling, destiny drags them.
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
It is the fault of youth that it cannot restrain its own impetuosity.
Seneca the Younger
It is extreme evil to depart from the company of the living before you die.
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
Those who boast of their descent, brag on what they owe to others.
Seneca the Younger
On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!
Seneca the Younger
