More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Human nature is so constituted that insults sink deeper than kindnesses the remembrance of the latter soon passes away, while that of the former is treasured in the memory.
Seneca the Younger
It is a denial of justice not to stretch out a helping hand to the fallen that is the common right of humanity.
Seneca the Younger
It is sometimes pleasant even to act like a madman.
Seneca the Younger
We are taught for the schoolroom, not for life.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue depends partly upon training and partly upon practice you must learn first, and then strengthen your learning by action. If this be true, not only do the doctrines of wisdom help us but the precepts also, which check and banish our emotions by a sort of official decree.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
He who would do great things should not attempt them all alone.
Seneca the Younger
Throughout the whole of life one must continue to learn to live and what will amaze you even more, throughout life you must learn to die. Seneca (Roman philosopher)
Seneca the Younger
We should live as if we were in public view, and think, too, as if someone could peer into the inmost recesses of our hearts-which someone can!
Seneca the Younger
No evil is without its compensation. The less money, the less trouble the less favor, the less envy. Even in those cases which put us out of wits, it is not the loss itself, but the estimate of the loss that troubles us.
Seneca the Younger
Consult your friend on all things, especially on those which respect yourself. His counsel may then be useful where your own self-love might impair your judgment.
Seneca the Younger
If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.
Seneca the Younger
Let me therefore live as if every moment were to be my last.
Seneca the Younger
See how many are better off than you are, but consider how many are worse.
Seneca the Younger
Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all.
Seneca the Younger
You need a change of soul rather than a change of climate.
Seneca the Younger
It is proof of a bad cause when it is applauded by the mob.
Seneca the Younger
So enjoy the pleasures of the hour as not to spoil those that are to follow.
Seneca the Younger
Eternal law has arranged nothing better than this, that it has given us one way in to life, but many ways out.
Seneca the Younger
Obedience is yielded more readily to one who commands gently.
Seneca the Younger
