More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Remember that pain has this most excellent quality. If prolonged it cannot be severe, and if severe it cannot be prolonged.
Seneca the Younger
Look at the stars lighting up the sky: no one of them stays in the same place.
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
Be silent as to services you have rendered, but speak of favours you have received.
Seneca the Younger
It is impossible to imagine anything which better becomes a ruler than mercy.
Seneca the Younger
Refuse to let the thought of death bother you: nothing is grim when we have escaped that fear.
Seneca the Younger
That moderation which nature prescribes, which limits our desires by resources restricted to our needs, has abandoned the field it has now come to this -- that to want only what is enough is a sign both of boorishness and of utter destitution.
Seneca the Younger
It's unknown the place and uncertain the time where death awaits you thus you must expect death to find you, every time, at every place.
Seneca the Younger
A disease is farther on the road to being cured when it breaks forth from concealment and manifests its power.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue with some is nothing but successful temerity.
Seneca the Younger
Poverty with joy isn't poverty at all. The poor man is not one who has little, but one who hankers after more.
Seneca the Younger
Auditur et altera pars. (The other side shall be heard as well.)
Seneca the Younger
There are more things to alarm us than to harm us, and we suffer more often in apprehension than reality.
Seneca the Younger
True love can fear no one.
Seneca the Younger
A man who suffers or stresses before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary
Seneca the Younger
How can a thing possibly govern others when it cannot be governed itself?
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
Abstinence is easier than temperance.
Seneca the Younger
He who has made a fair compact with poverty is rich.
Seneca the Younger
Our life's a moment and less than a moment, but even this mite nature has mockingly humored with some appearance of a longer span.
Seneca the Younger
