More quotes by Seneca the Younger
We have lost morals, justice, honor, piety and faith, and that sense of shame which, once lost, can never be restored.
Seneca the Younger
You learn to know a pilot in a storm.
Seneca the Younger
Drunkenness doesn't create vices, but it brings them to the fore.
Seneca the Younger
Indolence is stagnation employment is life.
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
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
The first and greatest punishment of the sinner is the conscience of sin.
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
On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!
Seneca the Younger
It's not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it.
Seneca the Younger
A thing seriously pursued affords true enjoyment.
Seneca the Younger
Remember that pain has this most excellent quality. If prolonged it cannot be severe, and if severe it cannot be prolonged.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue needs a director and guide. Vice can be learned even without a teacher.
Seneca the Younger
He who receives a benefit with gratitude, repays the first installment of it.
Seneca the Younger
It is rash to condemn where you are ignorant.
Seneca the Younger
Light griefs are plaintive , but great ones are dumb
Seneca the Younger
It is extreme evil to depart from the company of the living before you die.
Seneca the Younger
Our fears are always more numerous than our dangers.
Seneca the Younger
Men love their country, not because it is great, but because it is their own.
Seneca the Younger
To the believers it is true. To the wise it is false. To the leaders it is useful.
Seneca the Younger
