More quotes by Seneca the Younger
He is most powerful who governs himself.
Seneca the Younger
You must know for which harbor you are headed, if you are to catch the right wind to take you there.
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
Extreme remedies are never the first to be resorted to.
Seneca the Younger
Religion worships God, while superstition profanes that worship.
Seneca the Younger
Many shed tears merely for show, and have dry eyes when no one's around to observe them.
Seneca the Younger
He that does good to another does good also to himself, not only in the consequence but in the very act. For the consciousness of well-doing is in itself ample reward.
Seneca the Younger
We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.
Seneca the Younger
Vice is contagious, and there is no trusting the sound and the sick together.
Seneca the Younger
It is extreme evil to depart from the company of the living before you die.
Seneca the Younger
We should every night call ourselves to an account: What infirmity have I mastered today? What passions opposed? What temptation resisted? What virtue acquired? Our vices will abate of themselves if they be brought every day to the shrift.
Seneca the Younger
God never repents of what He has first resolved upon.
Seneca the Younger
Nature ever provides for her own exigencies.
Seneca the Younger
The mind is never right but when it is at peace within itself the soul is in heaven even while it is in the flesh, if it be purged of its natural corruptions, and taken up with divine thoughts, and contemplations.
Seneca the Younger
Friendship always benefits love sometimes injures.
Seneca the Younger
What-so-ever the mind has ordained for itself, it has achieved
Seneca the Younger
Truths open to everyone, and the claims aren't all staked yet.
Seneca the Younger
Hardly a man will you find who could live with his door open.
Seneca the Younger
But it is a pretty thing to see what money will do!
Seneca the Younger
The path of increase is slow, but the road to ruin is rapid.
Seneca the Younger
