More quotes by Seneca the Younger
There is no evil that does not promise inducements. Avarice promises money luxury, a varied assortment of pleasures ambition, a purple robe and applause. Vices tempt you by the rewards they offer.
Seneca the Younger
Every journey has an end.
Seneca the Younger
A coward calls himself cautious, a miser thrifty.
Seneca the Younger
There is no genius without a mixture of madness.
Seneca the Younger
The willing, destiny guides them the unwilling, destiny drags them.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The evil which assails us is not in the localities we inhabit but in ourselves.
Seneca the Younger
Nobody becomes guilty by fate.
Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness doesn't create vices, but it brings them to the fore.
Seneca the Younger
He who comes to a conclusion when the other side is unheard, may have been just in his conclusion, but yet has not been just in his conduct.
Seneca the Younger
No one can be despised by another until he has learned to despise himself.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
True love can fear no one.
Seneca the Younger
There exists no more difficult art than living.
Seneca the Younger
If you are wise, You will mingle one thing with the other- Not hoping without doubt Not doubting without hope.
Seneca the Younger
When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.
Seneca the Younger
He is a king who fears nothing, he is a king who desires nothing!
Seneca the Younger
The law of the pleasure in having done anything for another is, that the one almost immediately forgets having given, and the other remembers eternally having received.
Seneca the Younger
