More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness. The things that are essential are acquired with little bother it is the luxuries that call for toil and effort. To want simply what is enough nowadays suggests to people primitiveness and squalor.
Seneca the Younger
Time is the one thing that is given to everyone in equal measure.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue with some is nothing but successful temerity.
Seneca the Younger
The mind does not easily unlearn what it has been long in learning.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Let us say what we feel, and feel what we say let speech harmonize with life.
Seneca the Younger
It is often better not to see an insult than to avenge it.
Seneca the Younger
No evil is without its compensation. The less money, the less trouble the less favor, the less envy. Even in those cases which put us out of wits, it is not the loss itself, but the estimate of the loss that troubles us.
Seneca the Younger
The willing, destiny guides them the unwilling, destiny drags them.
Seneca the Younger
Let us not seek our disease out of ourselves 'tis in us, and planted in our bowels and the mere fact that we do not perceive ourselves to be sick, renders us more hard to be cured.
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
If a man does not know to what port he is steering, no wind is favorable to him. Ignoranti quem portum petat, nullus suus ventus est.
Seneca the Younger
He, who will not pardon others, must not himself expect pardon.
Seneca the Younger
Wisdom does not show itself so much in precept as in life - in firmness of mind and a mastery of appetite. It teaches us to do as well as to talk and to make our words and actions all of a color.
Seneca the Younger
Truths open to everyone, and the claims aren't all staked yet.
Seneca the Younger
He who would do great things should not attempt them all alone.
Seneca the Younger
To live is not a blessing, but to live well.
Seneca the Younger
He who seeks wisdom is a wise man he who thinks he has found it is mad.
Seneca the Younger
All we see and admire today will burn in the universal fire that ushers in a new, just, happy world.
Seneca the Younger
What with our hooks, snares, nets, and dogs, we are at war with all living creatures, and nothing comes amiss but that which is either too cheap or too common and all this is to gratify a fantastical palate.
Seneca the Younger
