More quotes by Seneca the Younger
When you enter a grove peopled with ancient trees, higher than the ordinary, and shutting out the sky with their thickly inter-twined branches, do not the stately shadows of the wood, the stillness of the place, and the awful gloom of this doomed cavern then strike you with the presence of a deity?
Seneca the Younger
Night brings our troubles to the light, rather than banishes them.
Seneca the Younger
All that lies betwixt the cradle and the grave is uncertain.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Do what you should, not what you may.
Seneca the Younger
Friendship always benefits love sometimes injures.
Seneca the Younger
The key to getting everything you want is to never put all your begs in one ask-it!
Seneca the Younger
It is dishonorable to say one thing and think another how much more dishonorable to write one thing and think another.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever we owe, it is our part to find where to pay it, and to do it without asking, too for whether the creditor be good or bad, the debt is still the same.
Seneca the Younger
We learn not for life but for the debating-room.
Seneca the Younger
No one's so old that he mayn't with decency hope for one more day.
Seneca the Younger
The first proof of a well-ordered mind is to be able to pause and linger within itself.
Seneca the Younger
The language of truth is unvarnished enough.
Seneca the Younger
The many speak highly of you, but have you really any grounds for satisfaction with yourself if you are the kind of person the many understand?
Seneca the Younger
Let the man, who would be grateful, think of repaying a kindness, even while receiving it.
Seneca the Younger
Fire proves gold, adversity proves men.
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
A large part of mankind is angry not with the sins, but with the sinners.
Seneca the Younger
