More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
Seneca the Younger
Our (the Stoic) motto, as you know, is live according to nature.
Seneca the Younger
Rehearse death. To say this is to tell a person to rehearse his freedom. A person who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave. He is above, or at any rate, beyond the reach of, all political powers.
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
Nobody becomes guilty by fate.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue with some is nothing but successful temerity.
Seneca the Younger
Go on and increase in valor, O boy! this is the path to immortality.
Seneca the Younger
All my life I have been seeking to climb out of the pit of my besetting sins and I cannot do it and I never will unless a hand is let down to draw me up.
Seneca the Younger
Those griefs burn most which gall in secret.
Seneca the Younger
People do not die - they kill themselves.
Seneca the Younger
The mind is never right but when it is at peace within itself the soul is in heaven even while it is in the flesh, if it be purged of its natural corruptions, and taken up with divine thoughts, and contemplations.
Seneca the Younger
He is most powerful who governs himself.
Seneca the Younger
What-so-ever the mind has ordained for itself, it has achieved
Seneca the Younger
Just as so many rivers, so many showers of rain from above, so many medicinal springs do not alter the taste of the sea, so the pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man. For it maintains its balance, and over all that happens it throws its own complexion, because it is more powerful than external circumstances.
Seneca the Younger
He who boasts of his pedigree praises that which does not belong to him.
Seneca the Younger
Constant exposure to dangers will breed contempt for them.
Seneca the Younger
It is within the power of every man to live his life nobly, but of no man to live forever. Yet so many of us hope that life will go on forever, and so few aspire to live nobly.
Seneca the Younger
A lesson that is never learned can never be too often taught.
Seneca the Younger
In war there is no prize for runner-up.
Seneca the Younger
To the person who does not know where he wants to go there is no favorable wind.
Seneca the Younger
