More quotes by Seneca the Younger
The first step in a person's salvation is knowledge of their sin.
Seneca the Younger
Poverty needs much, avarice everything.
Seneca the Younger
All we see and admire today will burn in the universal fire that ushers in a new, just, happy world.
Seneca the Younger
The miserable are sacred.
Seneca the Younger
A good conscience fears no witness, but a guilty conscience is solicitous even in solitude. If we do nothing but what is honest, let all the world know it. But if otherwise, what does it signify to have nobody else know it, so long as I know it myself? Miserable is he who slights that witness.
Seneca the Younger
I had rather never receive a kindness than never bestow one.
Seneca the Younger
Be silent as to services you have rendered, but speak of favours you have received.
Seneca the Younger
It goes far toward making a man faithful to let him understand that you think him so and he that does but suspect I will deceive him, gives me a sort of right to do so.
Seneca the Younger
What difference does it make, after all, what your position in life is if you dislike it yourself?
Seneca the Younger
Successful crime is dignified with the name of virtue the good become the slaves of the wicked might makes right fear silences the power of the law.
Seneca the Younger
We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with. Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them.
Seneca the Younger
The path of increase is slow, but the road to ruin is rapid.
Seneca the Younger
Let us not seek our disease out of ourselves 'tis in us, and planted in our bowels and the mere fact that we do not perceive ourselves to be sick, renders us more hard to be cured.
Seneca the Younger
He is not guilty who is not guilty of his own free will.
Seneca the Younger
True praise comes often even to the lowly false praise only to the strong.
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
Find a path or make one.
Seneca the Younger
If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favourable.
Seneca the Younger
In war there is no prize for runner-up.
Seneca the Younger
If you don't know what port you are sailing to, no wind is favourable.
Seneca the Younger
