More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Other men's sins are before our eyes our own are behind our backs.
Seneca the Younger
Many shed tears merely for show, and have dry eyes when no one's around to observe them.
Seneca the Younger
That poverty is no disaster is understood by everyone who has not yet succumbed to the madness of greed and luxury that turns everything topsy-turvy.
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
A lesson that is never learned can never be too often taught.
Seneca the Younger
Find a path or make one.
Seneca the Younger
Every one has time if he likes. Business runs after nobody: people cling to it of their own free will and think that to be busy is a proof of happiness.
Seneca the Younger
Religion worships God, while superstition profanes that worship.
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
The person you are matters more than the place to which you go.
Seneca the Younger
A dwarf is small even if he stands on a mountain a colossus keeps his height, even if he stands in a well.
Seneca the Younger
A good character is the only guarantee of everlasting, carefree happiness.
Seneca the Younger
The best cure for anger is delay.
Seneca the Younger
There is nothing wrong with changing a plan when the situation has changed.
Seneca the Younger
He, who will not pardon others, must not himself expect pardon.
Seneca the Younger
A man is as unhappy as he has convinced himself he is.
Seneca the Younger
We should have a bond of sympathy for all sentient beings, knowing that only the depraved and base take pleasure in the sight of blood and suffering.
Seneca the Younger
For men in a state of freedom had thatch for their shelter, while slavery dwells beneath marble and gold.
Seneca the Younger
When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.
Seneca the Younger
The approach of liberty makes even an old man brave.
Seneca the Younger
