More quotes by Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

[We must learn to control and focus the force of our imagination on the good, bright side so it is positive and constructive helping ourselves and others, rather than let its force focus on the bad, dark side so it is negative and destructive hurting ourselves and others!]
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The mind that is anxious about future events is miserable.

It is a denial of justice not to stretch out a helping hand to the fallen that is the common right of humanity.
Seneca the Younger
Many men provoke others to overreach them by excessive suspicion their extraordinary distrust in some sort justifies the deceit.
