More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Life is short and art is long.
Seneca the Younger
We are born subjects, and to obey God is perfect liberty. He that does this shall be free, safe and happy.
Seneca the Younger
He may as well not thank at all, who thanks when none are by.
Seneca the Younger
As gratitude is a necessary, and a glorious virtue, so also it is an obvious, a cheap, and an easy one so obvious that wherever there is life there is a place for it so cheap, that the covetous man may be gratified without expense, and so easy that the sluggard may be so likewise without labor.
Seneca the Younger
So enjoy the pleasures of the hour as not to spoil those that are to follow.
Seneca the Younger
People pay the doctor for his trouble for his kindness they still remain in his debt.
Seneca the Younger
A good conscience fears no witness, but a guilty conscience is solicitous even in solitude. If we do nothing but what is honest, let all the world know it. But if otherwise, what does it signify to have nobody else know it, so long as I know it myself? Miserable is he who slights that witness.
Seneca the Younger
There's one blessing only, the source and cornerstone of beatitude: confidence in self.
Seneca the Younger
If you don't know what port you are sailing to, no wind is favourable.
Seneca the Younger
The many speak highly of you, but have you really any grounds for satisfaction with yourself if you are the kind of person the many understand?
Seneca the Younger
He who blushes at riding in a rattletrap, will boast when he rides in style.
Seneca the Younger
It is within the power of every man to live his life nobly, but of no man to live forever. Yet so many of us hope that life will go on forever, and so few aspire to live nobly.
Seneca the Younger
Philosophy does not regard pedigree, she received Plato not as a noble, but she made him one.
Seneca the Younger
He that does good to another does good also to himself, not only in the consequence but in the very act. For the consciousness of well-doing is in itself ample reward.
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
Let the weary at length possess quiet rest.
Seneca the Younger
The fortune of war is always doubtful.
Seneca the Younger
The way to wickedness is always through wickedness.
Seneca the Younger
A favor is to a grateful man delightful always to an ungrateful man only once.
Seneca the Younger
It is rash to condemn where you are ignorant.
Seneca the Younger
