More quotes by Seneca the Younger
A troubled countenance oft discloses much.
Seneca the Younger
Freedom is not being a slave to any circumstance, to any constraint, to any chance it means compelling Fortune to enter the lists on equal terms.
Seneca the Younger
Ignorance is the cause of fear.
Seneca the Younger
The first step towards amendment is the recognition of error.
Seneca the Younger
Hardly a man will you find who could live with his door open.
Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness doesn't create vices, but it brings them to the fore.
Seneca the Younger
Rehearse death. To say this is to tell a person to rehearse his freedom. A person who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave. He is above, or at any rate, beyond the reach of, all political powers.
Seneca the Younger
It's the admirer and the watcher who provoke us to all the inanities we commit.
Seneca the Younger
Those alone are wise who know how to love.
Seneca the Younger
The mind does not easily unlearn what it has been long in learning.
Seneca the Younger
We ought to take outdoor walks, to refresh and raise our spirits by deep breathing in the open air.
Seneca the Younger
He who begs timidly courts a refusal.
Seneca the Younger
A friend always loves, but he who loves is not always a friend.
Seneca the Younger
That is never too often repeated, which is never sufficiently learned.
Seneca the Younger
Most people fancy themselves innocent of those crimes of which they cannot be convicted.
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
The key to getting everything you want is to never put all your begs in one ask-it!
Seneca the Younger
In a moment the ashes are made, but a forest is a long time growing.
Seneca the Younger
We are taught for the schoolroom, not for life.
Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness is nothing but a self-induced state of insanity.
Seneca the Younger
