More quotes by Seneca the Younger
The body is not a permanent dwelling, but a sort of inn which is to be left behind when one perceives that one is a burden to the host.
Seneca the Younger
Some there are that torment themselves afresh with the memory of what is past others, again, afflict themselves with the apprehension of evils to come and very ridiculously both - for the one does not now concern us, and the other not yet ... One should count each day as a separate life.
Seneca the Younger
We are all sinful. Therefore whatever we blame in another we shall find in our own bosoms.
Seneca the Younger
Those griefs burn most which gall in secret.
Seneca the Younger
His head was turned by too great success.
Seneca the Younger
The bounty of nature is too little for the greedy person.
Seneca the Younger
I will govern my life and thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one and read the other, for what does it signify to make anything a secret to my neighbor, when to God, who is the searcher of our hearts, all our privacies are open?
Seneca the Younger
We learn not in the school, but in life.
Seneca the Younger
There is no greater punishment of wickedness that that it is dissatisfied with itself and its deeds.
Seneca the Younger
The way to good conduct is never too late.
Seneca the Younger
Wisdom teaches us to do, as well as to talk and to make our words and actions all of a colour.
Seneca the Younger
The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
Seneca the Younger
Death is sometimes a punishment, often a gift to many it has been a favor.
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
Our minds must relax: they will rise better and keener after rest. Just as you must not force fertile farmland, as uninterrupted productivity will soon exhaust it, so constant effort will sap our mental vigour, while a short period of rest and relaxation will restore our powers. Unremitting effort leads to a kind of mental dullness and lethargy.
Seneca the Younger
Good sides to adversity are best admired at a distance.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.
Seneca the Younger
A friend always loves, but he who loves is not always a friend.
Seneca the Younger
While we wait for life, life passes
Seneca the Younger
Philosophy is the health of the mind.
Seneca the Younger
