More quotes by Seneca the Younger
It goes far toward making a man faithful to let him understand that you think him so and he that does but suspect I will deceive him, gives me a sort of right to do so.
Seneca the Younger
The best way to do good to ourselves is to do it to others the right way to gather is to scatter.
Seneca the Younger
A good character is the only guarantee of everlasting, carefree happiness.
Seneca the Younger
I am telling you to be a slow-speaking person.
Seneca the Younger
It is a denial of justice not to stretch out a helping hand to the fallen that is the common right of humanity.
Seneca the Younger
Authority founded on injustice is never of long duration.
Seneca the Younger
Cling tooth and nail to the following rule: Not to give in to adversity, never to trust prosperity, and always to take full note of fortune's habit of behaving just as she pleases, treating her as if she were actually going to do everything it is in her power to do. Whatever you have been expecting for some time comes as less of a shock.
Seneca the Younger
Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come . . . . Our universe is a sorry little affair unless it has in it something for every age to investigate.
Seneca the Younger
Life without the courage for death is slavery.
Seneca the Younger
Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Give up no science entirely for science is but one.
Seneca the Younger
Light is that grief which counsel can allay.
Seneca the Younger
He that makes himself famous by his eloquence, justice or arms illustrates his extraction, let it be never so mean and gives inestimable reputation to his parents. We should never have heard of Sophroniscus, but for his son, Socrates nor of Ariosto and Gryllus, if it had not been for Xenophon and Plato.
Seneca the Younger
The fear of war is worse than war itself.
Seneca the Younger
In every good man a God doth dwell.
Seneca the Younger
Be not dazzled by beauty, but look for those inward qualities which are lasting.
Seneca the Younger
Time is the greatest remedy for anger.
Seneca the Younger
I had rather never receive a kindness than never bestow one.
Seneca the Younger
Philosophy does not regard pedigree, she received Plato not as a noble, but she made him one.
Seneca the Younger
Let not the enjoyment of pleasures now within your grasp, be carried to such excess as to incapacitate you from future repetition.
Seneca the Younger
Men learn while they teach.
Seneca the Younger
