More quotes by Seneca the Younger
You have to persevere and fortify your pertinacity until the will to good becomes a disposition to good.
Seneca the Younger
If you are surprised at the number of our maladies, count our cooks.
Seneca the Younger
No one can have all he desires.
Seneca the Younger
Light troubles speak the weighty are struck dumb.
Seneca the Younger
He that does good to another does good also to himself, not only in the consequence but in the very act. For the consciousness of well-doing is in itself ample reward.
Seneca the Younger
A good person dyes events with his own color . . . and turns whatever happens to his own benefit.
Seneca the Younger
Ignorance is the cause of fear.
Seneca the Younger
One hand washes the other.
Seneca the Younger
Resistance to oppression is second nature.
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
Consider, when you are enraged at any one, what you would probably think if he should die during the dispute.
Seneca the Younger
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.
Seneca the Younger
You must linger among a limited number of master-thinkers, and digest their works, if you would derive ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind.
Seneca the Younger
Elegance is not an ornament worthy of man.
Seneca the Younger
The greater part of progress is the desire to progress.
Seneca the Younger
It is not goodness to be better than the worst.
Seneca the Younger
Just as so many rivers, so many showers of rain from above, so many medicinal springs do not alter the taste of the sea, so the pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man. For it maintains its balance, and over all that happens it throws its own complexion, because it is more powerful than external circumstances.
Seneca the Younger
The physician cannot prescribe by letter, he must feel the pulse.
Seneca the Younger
Those things which make the infernal regions terrible, the darkness, the prison, the river of flaming fire, the judgment seat, are all a fable, with which the poets amuse themselves, and by them agitate us with vain terrors.
Seneca the Younger
He that by harshness of nature rules his family with an iron hand is as truly a tyrant as he who misgoverns a nation.
Seneca the Younger
