More quotes by Seneca the Younger
In the meantime, cling tooth and nail to the following rule: not to give in to adversity, not to trust prosperity, and always take full note of fortune's habit of behaving just as she pleases.
Seneca the Younger
A hungry people listens not to reason, not cares for justice, nor is bent by any prayers.
Seneca the Younger
I never come back home with the same moral character I went out with something or other becomes unsettled where I had achieved internal peace some one or other of the things I had put to flight reappears on the scene.
Seneca the Younger
In every good man a God doth dwell.
Seneca the Younger
True friends are the whole world to one another and he that is a friend to himself is also a friend to mankind. Even in my studies the greatest delight I take is of imparting it to others for there is no relish to me in the possessing of anything without a partner.
Seneca the Younger
Familiarity reduces the greatness of things.
Seneca the Younger
If you don't know what port you are sailing to, no wind is favourable.
Seneca the Younger
We haven't time to spare to hear whether it was between Italy and Sicily that he ran into a storm or somewhere outside the world we know-when every day we're running into our own storms, spiritual storms, and driven by vice into all the troubles that Ulysses ever knew.
Seneca the Younger
God never repents of what He has first resolved upon.
Seneca the Younger
Death falls heavily on that man who, known too well to others, dies in ignorance of himself.
Seneca the Younger
The stomach begs and clamors, and listens to no precepts. And yet it is not an obdurate creditor for it is dismissed with small payment if you give it only what you owe, and not as much as you can.
Seneca the Younger
Retirement without literary amusements is death itself, and a living tomb.
Seneca the Younger
Let wickedness escape as it may at the bar, it never fails of doing justice upon itself for every guilty person is his own hangman.
Seneca the Younger
He who fears from near at hand often fears less.
Seneca the Younger
Epicurus says that you should rather have regard to the company with whom you eat and drink, than to what you eat and drink.
Seneca the Younger
The more violent the storm the sooner it is over.
Seneca the Younger
Never to wrong others takes one a long way towards peace of mind.
Seneca the Younger
The path of increase is slow, but the road to ruin is rapid.
Seneca the Younger
It passes in the world for greatness of mind, to be perpetually giving and loading people with bounties but it is one thing to know how to give and another thing not to know how to keep. Give me a heart that is easy and open, but I will have no holes in it let it be bountiful with judgment, but I will have nothing run out of it I know not how.
Seneca the Younger
A dwarf is small even if he stands on a mountain a colossus keeps his height, even if he stands in a well.
Seneca the Younger
