More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Reasons for anxiety will never be lacking, whether born of prosperity or of wretchedness life pushes on in a succession of engrossments. We shall always pray for leisure.
Seneca the Younger
Calamity is virtue's opportunity.
Seneca the Younger
Success is not greedy, as people think, but insignificant. That is why it satisfies nobody.
Seneca the Younger
If ever you come upon a grove of ancient trees which have grown to an exceptional height, shutting out a view of sky by a veil of pleached and intertwining branches, then the loftiness of the forest, the seclusion of the spot and your marvel at the thick unbroken shade in the midst of the open spaces, will prove to you the presence of deity.
Seneca the Younger
As was his language so was his life.
Seneca the Younger
The man who spends his time choosing one resort after another in a hunt for peace and quiet will in every place he visits find something to prevent him from relaxing.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Virtue with some is nothing but successful temerity.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
We are as answerable for what we give as for what we receive nay, the misplacing of a benefit is worse than the not receiving of it for the one is another person's fault, but the other is mine.
Seneca the Younger
We should live as if we were in public view, and think, too, as if someone could peer into the inmost recesses of our hearts-which someone can!
Seneca the Younger
It is sweet to mingle tears with tears Griefs, where they wound in solitude, Wound more deeply.
Seneca the Younger
Laws do not persuade just because they threaten.
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
Let ease and rest at times be given to the weary.
Seneca the Younger
Some lack the fickleness to live as they wish and just live as they have begun.
Seneca the Younger
Truths open to everyone, and the claims aren't all staked yet.
Seneca the Younger
The greatest hindrance to living is expectancy, which depends upon tomorrow and wastes today
Seneca the Younger
The things that are essential are acquired with little bother it is the luxuries that call for toil and effort.
Seneca the Younger
