Seneca the Younger
Those alone are wise who know how to love.
Seneca the Younger
Abstinence is easier than temperance.
Seneca the Younger
True friends are the whole world to one another and he that is a friend to himself is also a friend to mankind. Even in my studies the greatest delight I take is of imparting it to others for there is no relish to me in the possessing of anything without a partner.
Seneca the Younger
It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much. ... The life we receive is not short but we make it so we are not ill provided but use what we have wastefully.
Seneca the Younger
There is no benefit so large that malignity will not lessen it none so narrow that a good interpretation will not enlarge it.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Believe me, that was a happy age, before the days of architects, before the days of builders.
Seneca the Younger
Loyalty is the holiest good in the human heart.
Seneca the Younger
Conversation has a kind of charm about it, an insuating and insidious something that elicits secrets from us just like love or liquor.
Seneca the Younger
We should every night call ourselves to an account: What infirmity have I mastered today? What passions opposed? What temptation resisted? What virtue acquired? Our vices will abate of themselves if they be brought every day to the shrift.
Seneca the Younger
To live is not a blessing, but to live well.
Seneca the Younger
Death's the discharge of our debt of sorrow.
Seneca the Younger
It is extreme evil to depart from the company of the living before you die.
Seneca the Younger
It is the superfluous things for which men sweat.
Seneca the Younger
