More quotes by Seneca the Younger
It is true greatness to have in one the frailty of a man and the security of a god.
Seneca the Younger
We learn not in the school, but in life.
Seneca the Younger
Every man prefers belief to the exercise of judgment.
Seneca the Younger
How many discoveries are reserved for the ages to come when our memory shall be no more, for this world of ours contains matter for investigation for all generations.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart.
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
Even after a bad harvest there must be sowing.
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
It is a world of mischief that may be done by a single example of avarice or luxury. One voluptuous palate makes many more.
Seneca the Younger
It's unknown the place and uncertain the time where death awaits you thus you must expect death to find you, every time, at every place.
Seneca the Younger
It is not how many books thou hast, but how good careful reading profiteth, while that which is full of variety delighteth.
Seneca the Younger
Just where death is expecting you is something we cannot know so, for your part, expect him everywhere.
Seneca the Younger
After death there is nothing.
Seneca the Younger
Those things which make the infernal regions terrible, the darkness, the prison, the river of flaming fire, the judgment seat, are all a fable, with which the poets amuse themselves, and by them agitate us with vain terrors.
Seneca the Younger
As for old age, embrace and love it. It abounds with pleasure if you know how to use it. The gradually declining years are among the sweetest in a man's life, and I maintain that, even when they have reached the extreme limit, they have their pleasure still.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing, to my way of thinking, is a better proof of a well-ordered mind than a man's ability to stop just where he is and pass some time in his own company.
Seneca the Younger
Who needs forgiveness, should the same extend with readiness.
Seneca the Younger
A good conscience fears no witness, but a guilty conscience is solicitous even in solitude. If we do nothing but what is honest, let all the world know it. But if otherwise, what does it signify to have nobody else know it, so long as I know it myself? Miserable is he who slights that witness.
Seneca the Younger
Calamity is virtue's opportunity.
Seneca the Younger
Choose as a guide one whom you will admire more when you see him act than when you hear him speak.
Seneca the Younger
