More quotes by Seneca the Younger
We are born subjects, and to obey God is perfect liberty. He that does this shall be free, safe and happy.
Seneca the Younger
A disease is farther on the road to being cured when it breaks forth from concealment and manifests its power.
Seneca the Younger
The whole duty of man is embraced in the two principles of abstinence and patience: temperance in prosperity, and patient courage in adversity.
Seneca the Younger
Let us not seek our disease out of ourselves 'tis in us, and planted in our bowels and the mere fact that we do not perceive ourselves to be sick, renders us more hard to be cured.
Seneca the Younger
It is easy enough to arouse in a listener a desire for what is honorable for in every one of us nature has laid the foundations or sown the seeds of the virtues. We are born to them all, all of us, and when a person comes along with the necessary stimulus, then those qualities of the personality are awakened, so to speak, from their slumber.
Seneca the Younger
Who-only let him be a man and intent upon honor-is not eager for the honorable ordeal and prompt to assume perilous duties? To what energetic man is not idleness a punishment?
Seneca the Younger
May be is very well, but Must is the master. It is my duty to show justice without recompense.
Seneca the Younger
No man was ever wise by chance.
Seneca the Younger
Poverty wants some, luxury many, and avarice all things.
Seneca the Younger
There is no fair wind for one who knows not whither he is bound.
Seneca the Younger
Trifling trouble find utterance deeply felt pangs are silent.
Seneca the Younger
If you would judge, understand.
Seneca the Younger
That moderation which nature prescribes, which limits our desires by resources restricted to our needs, has abandoned the field it has now come to this -- that to want only what is enough is a sign both of boorishness and of utter destitution.
Seneca the Younger
Every man prefers belief to the exercise of judgment.
Seneca the Younger
Everything is the product of one universal creative effort. There is nothing dead in Nature.
Seneca the Younger
If you are surprised at the number of our maladies, count our cooks.
Seneca the Younger
It is impossible to imagine anything which better becomes a ruler than mercy.
Seneca the Younger
We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.
Seneca the Younger
Not to feel one's misfortunes is not human, not to bear them is not manly.
Seneca the Younger
A lesson that is never learned can never be too often taught.
Seneca the Younger
