More quotes by Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Genius has never been accepted without a measure of condonement.
Seneca the Younger
It is extreme evil to depart from the company of the living before you die.
Seneca the Younger
The bounty of nature is too little for the greedy person.
Seneca the Younger
While you teach, you learn.
Seneca the Younger
What does reason demand of a man? A very easy thing-to live in accord with his own nature.
Seneca the Younger
To the believers it is true. To the wise it is false. To the leaders it is useful.
Seneca the Younger
Life is long if it is full.
Seneca the Younger
Crime when it succeeds is called virtue.
Seneca the Younger
Not to feel one's misfortunes is not human, not to bear them is not manly.
Seneca the Younger
We are born subjects, and to obey God is perfect liberty. He that does this shall be free, safe and happy.
Seneca the Younger
The path of precept is long, that of example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
Epicurus says, gratitude is a virtue that has commonly profit annexed to it. And where is the virtue that has not? But still the virtue is to be valued for itself, and not for the profit that attends it.
Seneca the Younger
What must be shall be and that which is a necessity to him that struggles, is little more than choice to him that is willing.
Seneca the Younger
In every good man a God doth dwell.
Seneca the Younger
You have to persevere and fortify your pertinacity until the will to good becomes a disposition to good.
Seneca the Younger
He who boasts of his descent, praises the deed of another.
Seneca the Younger
All my life I have been seeking to climb out of the pit of my besetting sins and I cannot do it and I never will unless a hand is let down to draw me up.
Seneca the Younger
The stomach begs and clamors, and listens to no precepts. And yet it is not an obdurate creditor for it is dismissed with small payment if you give it only what you owe, and not as much as you can.
Seneca the Younger
No evil is without its compensation. The less money, the less trouble the less favor, the less envy. Even in those cases which put us out of wits, it is not the loss itself, but the estimate of the loss that troubles us.
Seneca the Younger
