Seneca the Younger
Life's neither a good nor an evil: it's a field for good and evil.
Seneca the Younger
Economy is in itself a great source of revenue.
Seneca the Younger
Some lack the fickleness to live as they wish and just live as they have begun.
Seneca the Younger
To meditate an injury is to commit one.
Seneca the Younger
God never repents of what He has first resolved upon.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
There is no genius free from some tincture of madness
Seneca the Younger
Nature has made us passive, and to suffer is our lot. While we are in the flesh every man has his chain and his clog only it is looser and lighter to one man than to another, and he is more at ease who takes it up and carries it than he who drags it.
Seneca the Younger
He who has made a fair compact with poverty is rich.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is so bitter that a calm mind cannot find comfort in it.
Seneca the Younger
The stomach begs and clamors, and listens to no precepts. And yet it is not an obdurate creditor for it is dismissed with small payment if you give it only what you owe, and not as much as you can.
Seneca the Younger
When I think over what I have said, I envy dumb people.
Seneca the Younger
Laws do not persuade just because they threaten.
Seneca the Younger
A hungry people listens not to reason, not cares for justice, nor is bent by any prayers.
Seneca the Younger
Choose as a guide one whom you will admire more when you see him act than when you hear him speak.
Seneca the Younger
Life is a gift of the immortal Gods, but living well is the gift of philosophy.
Seneca the Younger
