More quotes by Seneca the Younger
If God adds another day to our life, let us receive it gladly.
Seneca the Younger
Men love their country, not because it is great, but because it is their own.
Seneca the Younger
So live with an inferior as you would wish a superior to live with you.
Seneca the Younger
True praise comes often even to the lowly false praise only to the strong.
Seneca the Younger
No evil is without its compensation. The less money, the less trouble the less favor, the less envy. Even in those cases which put us out of wits, it is not the loss itself, but the estimate of the loss that troubles us.
Seneca the Younger
The road by precepts is tedious, by example, short and efficacious.
Seneca the Younger
The willing, destiny guides them the unwilling, destiny drags them.
Seneca the Younger
He is a king who fears nothing, he is a king who desires nothing!
Seneca the Younger
No man esteems anything that comes to him by chance but when it is governed by reason, it brings credit both to the giver and receiver whereas those favors are in some sort scandalous that make a man ashamed of his patron.
Seneca the Younger
Life is divided into three periods: that which has been, that which is, that which will be. Of these the present is short, the future is doubtful, the past is certain.
Seneca the Younger
Resistance to oppression is second nature.
Seneca the Younger
Crime requires further crime to conceal it.
Seneca the Younger
The swiftness of time is infinite, as is still more evident when we look back on the past.
Seneca the Younger
What does reason demand of a man? A very easy thing-to live in accord with his own nature.
Seneca the Younger
Auditur et altera pars. (The other side shall be heard as well.)
Seneca the Younger
Let him who has given a favor be silent let he who has received it tell it.
Seneca the Younger
The man who has learned to triumph over sorrow wears his miseries as though they were sacred fillets upon his brow and nothing is so entirely admirable as a man bravely wretched.
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
Epicurus says that you should rather have regard to the company with whom you eat and drink, than to what you eat and drink.
Seneca the Younger
To the believers it is true. To the wise it is false. To the leaders it is useful.
Seneca the Younger
