More quotes by Seneca the Younger
Throughout the whole of life one must continue to learn to live and what will amaze you even more, throughout life you must learn to die. Seneca (Roman philosopher)
Seneca the Younger
It is the superfluous things for which men sweat.
Seneca the Younger
He that makes himself famous by his eloquence, justice or arms illustrates his extraction, let it be never so mean and gives inestimable reputation to his parents. We should never have heard of Sophroniscus, but for his son, Socrates nor of Ariosto and Gryllus, if it had not been for Xenophon and Plato.
Seneca the Younger
He who blushes at riding in a rattletrap, will boast when he rides in style.
Seneca the Younger
Behold a worthy sight, to which the God, turning his attention to his own work, may direct his gaze. Behold an equal thing, worthy of a God, a brave man matched in conflict with evil fortune.
Seneca the Younger
Slavery holds few men fast the greater number hold fast their slavery.
Seneca the Younger
So live with an inferior as you would wish a superior to live with you.
Seneca the Younger
Pleasure dies at the very moment when it charms us most.
Seneca the Younger
Money does all things for reward. Some are pious and honest as long as they thrive upon it, but if the devil himself gives better wages, they soon change their party.
Seneca the Younger
Do what you should, not what you may.
Seneca the Younger
He, who will not pardon others, must not himself expect pardon.
Seneca the Younger
To preserve the life of citizens, is the greatest virtue in the father of his country.
Seneca the Younger
If I only have the will to be grateful, I am so.
Seneca the Younger
Auditur et altera pars. (The other side shall be heard as well.)
Seneca the Younger
The willing, destiny guides them the unwilling, destiny drags them.
Seneca the Younger
Let us fight the battle-retreat from the things that attract us and rouse ourselves to meet the things that actually attack us.
Seneca the Younger
The wise man then followed a simple way of life-which is hardly surprising when you consider how even in this modern age he seeks to be as little encumbered as he possibly can.
Seneca the Younger
Virtue depends partly upon training and partly upon practice you must learn first, and then strengthen your learning by action. If this be true, not only do the doctrines of wisdom help us but the precepts also, which check and banish our emotions by a sort of official decree.
Seneca the Younger
You roll my log, and I will roll yours.
Seneca the Younger
The fear of war is worse than war itself.
Seneca the Younger
