More quotes by Seneca the Younger
He is greedy of life who is not willing to die when the world is perishing around him.
Seneca the Younger
A well-governed appetite is a great part of liberty
Seneca the Younger
Rehearse death. To say this is to tell a person to rehearse his freedom. A person who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave. He is above, or at any rate, beyond the reach of, all political powers.
Seneca the Younger
Fire proves gold, adversity proves men.
Seneca the Younger
The way to good conduct is never too late.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing will ever please me, no matter how excellent or beneficial, if I must retain the knowledge of it to myself. . . . . . No good thing is pleasant to possess, without friends to share it.
Seneca the Younger
Calamity is virtue's opportunity.
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
My joy in learning is partly that it enables me to teach.
Seneca the Younger
A good mind possesses a kingdom.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing more despicable than an old man who has no other proof than his age to offer of his having lived long in the world.
Seneca the Younger
There is no greater punishment of wickedness that that it is dissatisfied with itself and its deeds.
Seneca the Younger
Associate with people who are likely to improve you.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing after death, and death itself is nothing.
Seneca the Younger
What difference does it make how much you have? What you do not have amounts to much more.
Seneca the Younger
Retire into yourself as much as possible. Associate with people who are likely to improve you. Welcome those whom you are capable of improving. The process is a mutual one. People learn as they teach.
Seneca the Younger
It is impossible to imagine anything which better becomes a ruler than mercy.
Seneca the Younger
When I think over what I have said, I envy dumb people.
Seneca the Younger
A favor is to a grateful man delightful always to an ungrateful man only once.
Seneca the Younger
Eyes will not see when the heart wishes them to be blind.
Seneca the Younger
