More quotes by Seneca the Younger
You find in some a sort of graceless modesty, that makes them ashamed to requite an obligation.
Seneca the Younger
Ignorance is the cause of fear.
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
Poverty needs much, avarice everything.
Seneca the Younger
The greatest loss of time is delay and expectation, which depend upon the future. We let go the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty.
Seneca the Younger
Who needs forgiveness, should the same extend with readiness.
Seneca the Younger
A thing seriously pursued affords true enjoyment.
Seneca the Younger
He who would arrive at the appointed end must follow a single road and not wander through many ways.
Seneca the Younger
We have been born under a monarchy to obey God is freedom.
Seneca the Younger
The mind that is anxious about future events is miserable.
Seneca the Younger
Pain, scorned by yonder gout-ridden wretch, endured by yonder dyspeptic in the midst of his dainties, borne bravely by the girl in travail. Slight thou art, if I can bear thee, short thou art if I cannot bear thee!
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
Human affairs are like a chess-game: only those who do not take it seriously can be called good players. Life is like an earthen pot: only when it is shattered, does it manifest its emptiness.
Seneca the Younger
Philosophy alone makes the mind invincible, and places us out of the reach of fortune, so that all her arrows fall short of us.
Seneca the Younger
Everything may happen.
Seneca the Younger
Friendship always benefits love sometimes injures.
Seneca the Younger
Humanity is fortunate, because no man is unhappy except by his own fault.
Seneca the Younger
A coward calls himself cautious, a miser thrifty.
Seneca the Younger
Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all.
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
