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
There is nothing wrong with changing a plan when the situation has changed.
Seneca the Younger
In every good man a God doth dwell.
Seneca the Younger
A physician is not angry at the intemperance of a mad patient, nor does he take it ill to be railed at by a man in fever. Just so should a wise man treat all mankind, as a physician does his patient, and look upon them only as sick and extravagant.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever begins, also ends.
Seneca the Younger
[During difficult times and after mistakes and failures it is helpful to remember ...] Oftentimes calamity turns to our advantage and great ruins make way for greater glories.
Seneca the Younger
To strive with an equal is dangerous with a superior, mad with an inferior, degrading.
Seneca the Younger
He who seeks wisdom is a wise man he who thinks he has found it is mad.
Seneca the Younger
You need a change of soul rather than a change of climate.
Seneca the Younger
Religion worships God, while superstition profanes that worship.
Seneca the Younger
A good person dyes events with his own color . . . and turns whatever happens to his own benefit.
Seneca the Younger
Poverty needs much, avarice everything.
Seneca the Younger
Every one has time if he likes. Business runs after nobody: people cling to it of their own free will and think that to be busy is a proof of happiness.
Seneca the Younger
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.
Seneca the Younger
Everything is the product of one universal creative effort. There is nothing dead in Nature.
Seneca the Younger
Men love their country, not because it is great, but because it is their own.
Seneca the Younger
Let him who has granted a favour speak not of it let him who has received one, proclaim it.
Seneca the Younger
Ignorance is the cause of fear.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue needs a director and guide. Vice can be learned even without a teacher.
Seneca the Younger
How great would be our peril if our slaves began to number us!
Seneca the Younger
