More quotes by Seneca the Younger
There is nothing after death, and death itself is nothing.
Seneca the Younger
The swiftness of time is infinite, as is still more evident when we look back on the past.
Seneca the Younger
After death there is nothing.
Seneca the Younger
All we see and admire today will burn in the universal fire that ushers in a new, just, happy world.
Seneca the Younger
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
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
The wise man lives as long as he should, not just as long as he likes.
Seneca the Younger
The greatest hindrance to living is expectancy, which depends upon tomorrow and wastes today
Seneca the Younger
Philosophy does not regard pedigree, she received Plato not as a noble, but she made him one.
Seneca the Younger
Philosophy is the health of the mind.
Seneca the Younger
Freedom can't be bought for nothing. If you hold her precious, you must hold all else of little worth.
Seneca the Younger
Most men ebb and flow in wretchedness between the fear of death and the hardship of life they are unwilling to live, and yet they do not know how to die.
Seneca the Younger
We are wrong in looking forward to death: in great measure it's past already.
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
What-so-ever the mind has ordained for itself, it has achieved
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
A troubled countenance oft discloses much.
Seneca the Younger
Vice is contagious, and there is no trusting the sound and the sick together.
Seneca the Younger
Crime when it succeeds is called virtue.
Seneca the Younger
Our fears are always more numerous than our dangers.
Seneca the Younger
