More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Obedience is yielded more readily to one who commands gently.
Seneca the Younger
Many men would have arrived at wisdom had they not believed themselves to have arrived there already.
Seneca the Younger
The swiftness of time is infinite, as is still more evident when we look back on the past.
Seneca the Younger
Freedom is not being a slave to any circumstance, to any constraint, to any chance it means compelling Fortune to enter the lists on equal terms.
Seneca the Younger
The first step towards amendment is the recognition of error.
Seneca the Younger
Its harder for people to seek retirement from themselves than from the law
Seneca the Younger
Poverty with joy isn't poverty at all. The poor man is not one who has little, but one who hankers after more.
Seneca the Younger
Such is the blindness, nay the insanity of mankind, that some men are driven to death by the fear of it.
Seneca the Younger
Necessity is stronger than duty.
Seneca the Younger
Success gives the character of honesty to some classes of wickedness.
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
Indolence is stagnation employment is life.
Seneca the Younger
Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.
Seneca the Younger
We should give as we would receive, cheerfully, quickly, and without hesitation for there is no grace in a benefit that sticks to the fingers.
Seneca the Younger
If you live according to nature, you never will be poor if according to the world's caprice, you will never be rich.
Seneca the Younger
The fortune of war is always doubtful.
Seneca the Younger
Solitude and company may be allowed to take their turns: the one creates in us the love of mankind, the other that of ourselves solitude relieves us when we are sick of company, and conversation when we are weary of being alone, so that the one cures the other. There is no man so miserable as he that is at a loss how to use his time
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
As Lucretius says: 'Thus ever from himself doth each man flee.' But what does he gain if he does not escape from himself? He ever follows himself and weighs upon himself as his own most burdensome companion. And so we ought to understand that what we struggle with is the fault, not of the places, but of ourselves
Seneca the Younger
He robs present ills of their power who has perceived their coming beforehand.
Seneca the Younger
