More quotes by Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The things that are essential are acquired with little bother it is the luxuries that call for toil and effort.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
No man esteems anything that comes to him by chance but when it is governed by reason, it brings credit both to the giver and receiver whereas those favors are in some sort scandalous that make a man ashamed of his patron.
Seneca the Younger
Not to feel one's misfortunes is not human, not to bear them is not manly.
Seneca the Younger
Death falls heavily on that man who, known too well to others, dies in ignorance of himself.
Seneca the Younger
