More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light. Life is the wind and the rain and the thunder in the sky. Life is matter and is earth, what is and what is not, and what beyond is in Eternity.
Seneca the Younger
Death's the discharge of our debt of sorrow.
Seneca the Younger
The path of precept is long, that of example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
We deliberate about the parcels of life, but not about life itself, and so we arrive all unawares at its different epochs, and have the trouble of beginning all again. And so finally it is that we do not walk as men confidently towards death, but let death come suddenly upon us.
Seneca the Younger
Necessity is stronger than duty.
Seneca the Younger
Never to wrong others takes one a long way towards peace of mind.
Seneca the Younger
He who would arrive at the appointed end must follow a single road and not wander through many ways.

Seneca the Younger
He has committed the crime who profits by it.
Seneca the Younger
Just as I shall select my ship when I am about to go on a voyage, or my house when I propose to take a residence, so shall I choose my death when I am about to depart from life.
Seneca the Younger
How many discoveries are reserved for the ages to come when our memory shall be no more, for this world of ours contains matter for investigation for all generations.
Seneca the Younger
The mind makes the nobleman, and uplifts the lowly to high degree.
Seneca the Younger
We live not according to reason, but according to fashion.

Those alone are wise who know how to love.
Seneca the Younger
