More quotes by Seneca the Younger
He who is brave is free.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so wretched or foolish as to anticipate misfortunes. What madness it is to be expecting evil before it comes.
Seneca the Younger
When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.
Seneca the Younger
Many men would have arrived at wisdom had they not believed themselves to have arrived there already.
Seneca the Younger
We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with. Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them.
Seneca the Younger
Be harsh with yourself at times.
Seneca the Younger
Let wickedness escape as it may at the bar, it never fails of doing justice upon itself for every guilty person is his own hangman.
Seneca the Younger
Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all.
Seneca the Younger
Let him who has granted a favour speak not of it let him who has received one, proclaim it.
Seneca the Younger
Most men ebb and flow in wretchedness between the fear of death and the hardship of life they are unwilling to live, and yet they do not know how to die.
Seneca the Younger
The first and greatest punishment of the sinner is the conscience of sin.
Seneca the Younger
In the meantime, cling tooth and nail to the following rule: not to give in to adversity, not to trust prosperity, and always take full note of fortune's habit of behaving just as she pleases.
Seneca the Younger
The key to getting everything you want is to never put all your begs in one ask-it!
Seneca the Younger
I will govern my life and thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one and read the other, for what does it signify to make anything a secret to my neighbor, when to God, who is the searcher of our hearts, all our privacies are open?
Seneca the Younger
If you are surprised at the number of our maladies, count our cooks.
Seneca the Younger
Shame may restrain what law does not prohibit.
Seneca the Younger
While we wait for life, life passes
Seneca the Younger
The chief bond of the soldier is his oath of allegiance and love for the flag.
Seneca the Younger
If I only have the will to be grateful, I am so.
Seneca the Younger
Speech is the mirror of the mind.
Seneca the Younger
