Seneca the Younger
Do what you should, not what you may.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
True praise comes often even to the lowly false praise only to the strong.
Seneca the Younger
The mind makes the nobleman, and uplifts the lowly to high degree.
Seneca the Younger
What must be shall be and that which is a necessity to him that struggles, is little more than choice to him that is willing.
Seneca the Younger
It is extreme evil to depart from the company of the living before you die.
Seneca the Younger
I know that nothing comes to pass but what God appoints our fate is decreed, and things do not happen by chance, but every man's portion of joy and sorrow is predetermined.
Seneca the Younger
We should every night call ourselves to an account: What infirmity have I mastered today? What passions opposed? What temptation resisted? What virtue acquired? Our vices will abate of themselves if they be brought every day to the shrift.
Seneca the Younger
Eyes will not see when the heart wishes them to be blind.
Seneca the Younger
Our (the Stoic) motto, as you know, is live according to nature.
Seneca the Younger
Poverty with joy isn't poverty at all. The poor man is not one who has little, but one who hankers after more.
Seneca the Younger
One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.
Seneca the Younger
He who seeks wisdom is a wise man he who thinks he has found it is mad.
Seneca the Younger
The greatest loss of time is delay and expectation, which depend upon the future. We let go the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty.
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
The first petition that we are to make to Almighty God is for a good conscience, the next for health of mind, and then of body.
Seneca the Younger
That which Fortune has not given, she cannot take away.
Seneca the Younger
Fortune can take away riches, but not courage.
Seneca the Younger
Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all.
Seneca the Younger
