More quotes by Seneca the Younger
To live is not a blessing, but to live well.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing deters a good man from doing what is honourable.
Seneca the Younger
God never repents of what He has first resolved upon.
Seneca the Younger
Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light. Life is the wind and the rain and the thunder in the sky. Life is matter and is earth, what is and what is not, and what beyond is in Eternity.
Seneca the Younger
On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!
Seneca the Younger
We must take care to live not merely a long life, but a full one for living a long life requires only good fortune, but living a full life requires character. Long is the life that is fully lived it is fulfilled only when the mind supplies its own good qualities and empowers itself from within.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue depends partly upon training and partly upon practice you must learn first, and then strengthen your learning by actions.
Seneca the Younger
He that will do no good offices after a disappointment must stand still, and do just nothing at all. The plough goes on after a barren year and while the ashes are yet warm, we raise a new house upon the ruins of a former.
Seneca the Younger
Do everything as in the eye of another.
Seneca the Younger
Freedom can't be kept for nothing. If you set a high value on liberty, you must set a low value on everything else.
Seneca the Younger
Believe me, that was a happy age, before the days of architects, before the days of builders.
Seneca the Younger
To things which you bear with impatience you should accustom yourself, and, by habit you will bear them well.
Seneca the Younger
Wisdom teaches us to do, as well as to talk and to make our words and actions all of a colour.
Seneca the Younger
The state of that man's mind who feels too intense an interest as to future events, must be most deplorable.
Seneca the Younger
No one can have all he desires.
Seneca the Younger
Unjust dominion cannot be eternal.
Seneca the Younger
I had rather never receive a kindness than never bestow one.
Seneca the Younger
The man who has learned to triumph over sorrow wears his miseries as though they were sacred fillets upon his brow and nothing is so entirely admirable as a man bravely wretched.
Seneca the Younger
It is the superfluous things for which men sweat.
Seneca the Younger
Rehearse death. To say this is to tell a person to rehearse his freedom. A person who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave. He is above, or at any rate, beyond the reach of, all political powers.
