Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
You learn to know a pilot in a storm.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
People do not die - they kill themselves.
Seneca the Younger
No man esteems anything that comes to him by chance but when it is governed by reason, it brings credit both to the giver and receiver whereas those favors are in some sort scandalous that make a man ashamed of his patron.
Seneca the Younger
There is no genius free from some tincture of madness
Seneca the Younger
Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind.
Seneca the Younger
It is difficult to bring people to goodness with lessons, but it is easy to do so by example.
Seneca the Younger
Nature ever provides for her own exigencies.
Seneca the Younger
Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all. It sets the slave at liberty, carries the banished man home, and places all mortals on the same level, insomuch that life itself were a punishment without it.
Seneca the Younger
Just where death is expecting you is something we cannot know so, for your part, expect him everywhere.
Seneca the Younger
There exists no more difficult art than living.
Seneca the Younger
Speech devoted to truth should be straightforward and plain
Seneca the Younger
The poor are not the people with less, which is less desirable
Seneca the Younger
A thousand approaches lie open to death.
Seneca the Younger
Nemo tam divos habuit faventes, Crastinum ut possit sibi polliceri. Nobody has ever found the gods so much his friends that he can promise himself another day.
Seneca the Younger
We are members of one great body. Nature planted in us a mutual love, and fitted us for a social life. We must consider that we were born for the good of the whole.
Seneca the Younger
