More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Precepts are like seeds they are little things which do much good if the mind which receives them has a disposition, it must not be doubted that his part contributes to the generation, and adds much to that which has been collected.
Seneca the Younger
Religion worships God, while superstition profanes that worship.
Seneca the Younger
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
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
Nothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.
Seneca the Younger
He robs present ills of their power who has perceived their coming beforehand.
Seneca the Younger
No one can have all he desires.
Seneca the Younger
A physician is not angry at the intemperance of a mad patient, nor does he take it ill to be railed at by a man in fever. Just so should a wise man treat all mankind, as a physician does his patient, and look upon them only as sick and extravagant.
Seneca the Younger
He who blushes at riding in a rattletrap, will boast when he rides in style.
Seneca the Younger
Do you desire not to be angry? Be not inquisitive. He who inquires what is said of him only works out his own misery.
Seneca the Younger
The bounty of nature is too little for the greedy person.
Seneca the Younger
Just where death is expecting you is something we cannot know so, for your part, expect him everywhere.
Seneca the Younger
Freedom can't be kept for nothing. If you set a high value on liberty, you must set a low value on everything else.
Seneca the Younger
Pain, scorned by yonder gout-ridden wretch, endured by yonder dyspeptic in the midst of his dainties, borne bravely by the girl in travail. Slight thou art, if I can bear thee, short thou art if I cannot bear thee!
Seneca the Younger
If you really want to escape the things that harass you, what you're needing is not to be in a different place but to be a different person.
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
The most onerous slavery is to be a slave to oneself.
Seneca the Younger
Those who pass their lives in foreign travel find they contract many ties of hospitality, but form no friendships.
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
One hand washes the other.
