More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Wisdom teaches us to do, as well as to talk and to make our words and actions all of a colour.
Seneca the Younger
Conversation has a kind of charm about it, an insuating and insidious something that elicits secrets from us just like love or liquor.
Seneca the Younger
Greatness stands upon a precipice, and if prosperity carries a man never so little beyond his poise, it overbears and dashes him to pieces.
Seneca the Younger
Death is a release from and an end of all pains.
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
Great is he who enjoys his earthenware as if it were plate, and not less great is the man to whom all his plate is no more that earthenware.
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
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
Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light. Life is the wind and the rain and the thunder in the sky. Life is matter and is earth, what is and what is not, and what beyond is in Eternity.
Seneca the Younger
No one can be happy who has been thrust outside the pale of truth. And there are two ways that one can be removed from this realm: by lying, or by being lied to.
Seneca the Younger
It is rash to condemn where you are ignorant.
Seneca the Younger
We learn not in the school, but in life.
Seneca the Younger
A good mind is a lord of a kingdom.
Seneca the Younger
As long as you live, learn how to live.
Seneca the Younger
So live with an inferior as you would wish a superior to live with you.
Seneca the Younger
That moderation which nature prescribes, which limits our desires by resources restricted to our needs, has abandoned the field it has now come to this -- that to want only what is enough is a sign both of boorishness and of utter destitution.
Seneca the Younger
We are taught for the schoolroom, not for life.
Seneca the Younger
Authority founded on injustice is never of long duration.
Seneca the Younger
But it is a pretty thing to see what money will do!
Seneca the Younger
He who is brave is free.
Seneca the Younger
