More quotes by Seneca the Younger
It is the power of the mind to be unconquerable.
Seneca the Younger
There is no easy way from the earth to the stars.
Seneca the Younger
The anger of those in authority is always weighty.
Seneca the Younger
Our minds must relax: they will rise better and keener after rest. Just as you must not force fertile farmland, as uninterrupted productivity will soon exhaust it, so constant effort will sap our mental vigour, while a short period of rest and relaxation will restore our powers. Unremitting effort leads to a kind of mental dullness and lethargy.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
He is a king who fears nothing, he is a king who desires nothing!
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
Let us say what we feel, and feel what we say let speech harmonize with life.
Seneca the Younger

Seneca the Younger
The man who while he gives thinks of what he will get in return, deserves to be deceived.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing will ever please me, no matter how excellent or beneficial, if I must retain the knowledge of it to myself. . . . . . No good thing is pleasant to possess, without friends to share it.
Seneca the Younger
Golden roofs break men's rest.
Seneca the Younger
If you don't know what port you are sailing to, no wind is favourable.
Seneca the Younger
Whatever is well said by another, is mine.
Seneca the Younger
Home joys are blessed of heaven.
Seneca the Younger
