More quotes by 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
It is the mind that makes us rich and happy, in what condition soever we are, and money signifies no more to it than it does to the gods.
Seneca the Younger
It is sweet to mingle tears with tears Griefs, where they wound in solitude, Wound more deeply.
Seneca the Younger
In a moment the ashes are made, but a forest is a long time growing.
Seneca the Younger
Unjust rule does not last forever.
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
That moderation which nature prescribes, which limits our desires by resources restricted to our needs, has abandoned the field it has now come to this -- that to want only what is enough is a sign both of boorishness and of utter destitution.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing more miserable and foolish than anticipation.
Seneca the Younger
Resistance to oppression is second nature.
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
Now we are not merely to stick knowledge on to the soul: we must incorporate it into her the soul should not be sprinkled with knowledge but steeped in it.
Seneca the Younger
The first proof of a well-ordered mind is to be able to pause and linger within itself.
Seneca the Younger
See how many are better off than you are, but consider how many are worse.
Seneca the Younger
Vice may be learnt, even without a teacher
Seneca the Younger
Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all.
Seneca the Younger
It is not how many books thou hast, but how good careful reading profiteth, while that which is full of variety delighteth.
Seneca the Younger
To live is not a blessing, but to live well.
Seneca the Younger
Our minds must relax: they will rise better and keener after rest. Just as you must not force fertile farmland, as uninterrupted productivity will soon exhaust it, so constant effort will sap our mental vigour, while a short period of rest and relaxation will restore our powers. Unremitting effort leads to a kind of mental dullness and lethargy.
Seneca the Younger
He will live ill who does not know how to die well.
Seneca the Younger
Do everything as in the eye of another.
Seneca the Younger
