More quotes by Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
What once were vices are manners now.
Seneca the Younger
We are taught for the schoolroom, not for life.
Seneca the Younger
Pleasure dies at the very moment when it charms us most.
Seneca the Younger
Be silent as to services you have rendered, but speak of favours you have received.
Seneca the Younger
He grieves more than is necessary who grieves before any cause for sorrow has arisen.
Seneca the Younger
Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness. The things that are essential are acquired with little bother it is the luxuries that call for toil and effort. To want simply what is enough nowadays suggests to people primitiveness and squalor.
Seneca the Younger
Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all. It sets the slave at liberty, carries the banished man home, and places all mortals on the same level, insomuch that life itself were a punishment without it.
Seneca the Younger
Authority founded on injustice is never of long duration.
Seneca the Younger
Fidelity purchased with money, money can destroy.
Seneca the Younger
All art is but imitation of nature.
Seneca the Younger
There is more heroism in self-denial than in deeds of arms.
Seneca the Younger
Man's ideal state is realized when he has fulfilled the purpose for which he is born. And what is it that reason demands of him? Something very easy-that he live in accordance with his own nature.
Seneca the Younger
Praise thyself never.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so false as human life, nothing so treacherous. God knows no one would have accepted it as a gift, if it had not been given without our knowledge.
Seneca the Younger
We suffer more often in imagination than in reality. [We must learn to control and focus the force of our imagination on the good, bright side so it is positive and constructive helping ourselves and others, rather than let its force focus on the bad, dark side so it is negative and destructive hurting ourselves and others!]
Seneca the Younger
Virtue depends partly upon training and partly upon practice you must learn first, and then strengthen your learning by action. If this be true, not only do the doctrines of wisdom help us but the precepts also, which check and banish our emotions by a sort of official decree.
Seneca the Younger
It is extreme evil to depart from the company of the living before you die.
Seneca the Younger
The physician cannot prescribe by letter, he must feel the pulse.
Seneca the Younger
