More quotes by Seneca the Younger
You must know for which harbor you are headed, if you are to catch the right wind to take you there.
Seneca the Younger
We are more wicked together than separately. If you are forced to be in a crowd, then most of all you should withdraw into yourself.
Seneca the Younger
Golden roofs break men's rest.
Seneca the Younger
Let us ask what is best - not what is customary. Let us love temperance - let us be just - let us refrain from bloodshed.
Seneca the Younger
There exists no more difficult art than living.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing wrong with changing a plan when the situation has changed.
Seneca the Younger
I am telling you to be a slow-speaking person.
Seneca the Younger
It is difficult to bring people to goodness with lessons, but it is easy to do so by example.
Seneca the Younger
A good person dyes events with his own color . . . and turns whatever happens to his own benefit.
Seneca the Younger
After death there is nothing.
Seneca the Younger
We deliberate about the parcels of life, but not about life itself, and so we arrive all unawares at its different epochs, and have the trouble of beginning all again. And so finally it is that we do not walk as men confidently towards death, but let death come suddenly upon us.
Seneca the Younger
Every change of place becomes a delight.
Seneca the Younger
Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind.
Seneca the Younger
Do what you should, not what you may.
Seneca the Younger
Calamity is virtue's opportunity.
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
Philosophy is the health of the mind.
Seneca the Younger
Do you desire not to be angry? Be not inquisitive. He who inquires what is said of him only works out his own misery.
Seneca the Younger
True love hates and will not bear delay.
Seneca the Younger
Democracy is more cruel than wars or tyrants.
Seneca the Younger
