More quotes by 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
If wisdom were offered me with this restriction, that I should keep it close and not communicate it, I would refuse the gift.

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

Seneca the Younger
Our fears are always more numerous than our dangers.
Seneca the Younger
It is the sign of a weak mind to be unable to bear wealth.
Seneca the Younger
The more violent the storm the sooner it is over.
Seneca the Younger
Be not dazzled by beauty, but look for those inward qualities which are lasting.
Seneca the Younger
What-so-ever the mind has ordained for itself, it has achieved
Seneca the Younger
God never repents of what He has first resolved upon.
Seneca the Younger
In war there is no prize for runner-up.
Seneca the Younger
I will have a care of being a slave to myself, for it is a perpetual, a shameful, and the heaviest of all servitudes and this may be done by moderate desires.
Seneca the Younger
A hungry people listens not to reason, not cares for justice, nor is bent by any prayers.
Seneca the Younger
Eyes will not see when the heart wishes them to be blind.
Seneca the Younger
