More quotes by Seneca the Younger
The greatest loss of time is delay and expectation, which depend upon the future. We let go the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty.
Seneca the Younger
The man who spends his time choosing one resort after another in a hunt for peace and quiet will in every place he visits find something to prevent him from relaxing.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever is well said by another, is mine.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Freedom can't be bought for nothing. If you hold her precious, you must hold all else of little worth.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
What with our hooks, snares, nets, and dogs, we are at war with all living creatures, and nothing comes amiss but that which is either too cheap or too common and all this is to gratify a fantastical palate.
Seneca the Younger
Many men provoke others to overreach them by excessive suspicion their extraordinary distrust in some sort justifies the deceit.
Seneca the Younger
There has never been any great genius without a spice of madness.
Seneca the Younger
Corporeal punishment falls far more heavily than most weighty pecuniary penalty.
