More quotes by Seneca the Younger
He that does good to another does good also to himself, not only in the consequence but in the very act. For the consciousness of well-doing is in itself ample reward.
Seneca the Younger
I require myself not to be equal to the best, but to be better then the bad.
Seneca the Younger
To strive with an equal is dangerous with a superior, mad with an inferior, degrading.
Seneca the Younger
We are more easily led part by part to an understanding of the whole. -Facilius per partes in cognitionem totius adducimur
Seneca the Younger
A good mind is a lord of a kingdom.
Seneca the Younger
There has never been any great genius without a spice of madness.
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
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
When I think over what I have said, I envy dumb people.
Seneca the Younger
For many men, the acquisition of wealth does not end their troubles, it only changes them.
Seneca the Younger
Live among others as if God beheld you speak to God as if others were listening.
Seneca the Younger
That comes too late that comes for the asking.
Seneca the Younger
While we wait for life, life passes
Seneca the Younger
Some there are that torment themselves afresh with the memory of what is past others, again, afflict themselves with the apprehension of evils to come and very ridiculously both - for the one does not now concern us, and the other not yet ... One should count each day as a separate life.
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
Desultory reading is delightful, but to be beneficial, our reading must be carefully directed.
Seneca the Younger
We become wiser by adversity prosperity destroys our appreciation of the right. True happiness is ... to enjoy the present It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing more despicable than an old man who has no other proof than his age to offer of his having lived long in the world.
Seneca the Younger
Solitude and company may be allowed to take their turns: the one creates in us the love of mankind, the other that of ourselves solitude relieves us when we are sick of company, and conversation when we are weary of being alone, so that the one cures the other. There is no man so miserable as he that is at a loss how to use his time
Seneca the Younger
Vice may be learnt, even without a teacher
Seneca the Younger
