More quotes by Seneca the Younger
See what daily exercise does for one.
Seneca the Younger
What does reason demand of a man? A very easy thing-to live in accord with his own nature.
Seneca the Younger
What you do for an ungrateful man is thrown away.
Seneca the Younger
It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness.
Seneca the Younger
Consider, when you are enraged at any one, what you would probably think if he should die during the dispute.
Seneca the Younger
The law of the pleasure in having done anything for another is, that the one almost immediately forgets having given, and the other remembers eternally having received.
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
The path of precept is long, that of example short and effectual.
Seneca the Younger
That which has been endured with difficulty is remedied with delight.
Seneca the Younger
We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.
Seneca the Younger
Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light. Life is the wind and the rain and the thunder in the sky. Life is matter and is earth, what is and what is not, and what beyond is in Eternity.
Seneca the Younger
We sought therefore to amend our will, and not to suffer it through despite to languish long time in error.
Seneca the Younger
It passes in the world for greatness of mind, to be perpetually giving and loading people with bounties but it is one thing to know how to give and another thing not to know how to keep. Give me a heart that is easy and open, but I will have no holes in it let it be bountiful with judgment, but I will have nothing run out of it I know not how.
Seneca the Younger
You must linger among a limited number of master-thinkers, and digest their works, if you would derive ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind.
Seneca the Younger
Life is a gift of the immortal Gods, but living well is the gift of philosophy.
Seneca the Younger
As gratitude is a necessary, and a glorious virtue, so also it is an obvious, a cheap, and an easy one so obvious that wherever there is life there is a place for it so cheap, that the covetous man may be gratified without expense, and so easy that the sluggard may be so likewise without labor.
Seneca the Younger
All we see and admire today will burn in the universal fire that ushers in a new, just, happy world.
Seneca the Younger
Unjust dominion cannot be eternal.
Seneca the Younger
Whenever the speech is corrupted so is the mind.
Seneca the Younger
The ascent from earth to heaven is not easy.
Seneca the Younger
