More quotes by Seneca the Younger
The wise man lives as long as he should, not just as long as he likes.
Seneca the Younger
To preserve the life of citizens, is the greatest virtue in the father of his country.
Seneca the Younger
There is no evil that does not promise inducements. Avarice promises money luxury, a varied assortment of pleasures ambition, a purple robe and applause. Vices tempt you by the rewards they offer.
Seneca the Younger
However wretched a fellow-mortal may be, he is still a member of our common species.
Seneca the Younger
There are more people abusive to others than lie open to abuse themselves but the humor goes round, and he that laughs at me today will have somebody to laugh at him tomorrow.
Seneca the Younger
No one can be despised by another until he has learned to despise himself.
Seneca the Younger
A man who suffers or stresses before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary
Seneca the Younger
The wretched hasten to hear of their own miseries.
Seneca the Younger
Poverty wants some, luxury many, and avarice all things.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing wrong with changing a plan when the situation has changed.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man lacked nothing but needed a great number of things, whereas the fool, on the other hand, needs nothing (for he does not know how to use anything) but lacks everything.
Seneca the Younger
The mind does not easily unlearn what it has been long in learning.
Seneca the Younger
Men love their vices and hate them at the same time.
Seneca the Younger
Vice may be learnt, even without a teacher
Seneca the Younger
Behold a contest worthy of a god, a brave man matched in conflict with adversity.
Seneca the Younger
We have lost morals, justice, honor, piety and faith, and that sense of shame which, once lost, can never be restored.
Seneca the Younger
Let us fight the battle-retreat from the things that attract us and rouse ourselves to meet the things that actually attack us.
Seneca the Younger
Human nature is so constituted that insults sink deeper than kindnesses the remembrance of the latter soon passes away, while that of the former is treasured in the memory.
Seneca the Younger
It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness.
Seneca the Younger
It is a world of mischief that may be done by a single example of avarice or luxury. One voluptuous palate makes many more.
Seneca the Younger
