More quotes by 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
There is no benefit so large that malignity will not lessen it none so narrow that a good interpretation will not enlarge it.
Seneca the Younger
Ponder for a long time whether you shall admit a given person to your friendship but when you have decided to admit him, welcome him with all your heart and soul. Speak as boldly with him as with yourself.
Seneca the Younger
The whole duty of man is embraced in the two principles of abstinence and patience: temperance in prosperity, and patient courage in adversity.
Seneca the Younger
The shortest road to wealth lies in the contempt of wealth.
Seneca the Younger
The deep waters of time will flow over us: only a few men of genius will lift a head above the surface, and though doomed eventually to pass into the same silence, will fight against oblivion and for a long time hold their own.
Seneca the Younger
He is a king who fears nothing, he is a king who desires nothing!
Seneca the Younger
A man's as miserable as he thinks he is.
Seneca the Younger
The path of precept is long, that of example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.
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
The philosopher: he alone knows how to live for himself. He is the one, in fact, who knows the fundamental thing: how to live.
Seneca the Younger
The language of truth is unvarnished enough.
Seneca the Younger
Ignorance is the cause of fear.
Seneca the Younger
Calamity is virtue's opportunity.
Seneca the Younger
Do you desire not to be angry? Be not inquisitive. He who inquires what is said of him only works out his own misery.
Seneca the Younger
Authority founded on injustice is never of long duration.
Seneca the Younger
A good mind is a lord of a kingdom.
Seneca the Younger
We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with. Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few, and acting as though there would be no end of them.
Seneca the Younger
Why do I not seek some real good one which I could feel, not one which I could display?
Seneca the Younger
