More quotes by Seneca the Younger
How much does great prosperity overspread the mind with darkness.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man lacked nothing but needed a great number of things, whereas the fool, on the other hand, needs nothing (for he does not know how to use anything) but lacks everything.
Seneca the Younger
Why does no one confess his sins? Because he is yet in them. It is for a man who has awoke from sleep to tell his dreams.
Seneca the Younger
No man was ever wise by chance.
Seneca the Younger
All things are cause for either laughter or weeping.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Every day, therefore, should be regulated as if it were the one that brings up the rear, the one that rounds out and completes our lives.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
What once were vices are manners now.
Seneca the Younger
Laws do not persuade just because they threaten.
Seneca the Younger
All my life I have been seeking to climb out of the pit of my besetting sins and I cannot do it and I never will unless a hand is let down to draw me up.
Seneca the Younger
Who-only let him be a man and intent upon honor-is not eager for the honorable ordeal and prompt to assume perilous duties? To what energetic man is not idleness a punishment?
Seneca the Younger
No one can have all he desires.
Seneca the Younger
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
Seneca the Younger
His head was turned by too great success.
Seneca the Younger
Of war men ask the outcome, not the cause.
Seneca the Younger
Freedom can't be kept for nothing. If you set a high value on liberty, you must set a low value on everything else.
Seneca the Younger
Disease is not of the body but of the place.
Seneca the Younger
