More quotes by Seneca the Younger
It is the characteristic of a weak and diseased mind to fear the unfamiliar.
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
Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Give up no science entirely for science is but one.
Seneca the Younger
I know that nothing comes to pass but what God appoints our fate is decreed, and things do not happen by chance, but every man's portion of joy and sorrow is predetermined.
Seneca the Younger
Never to wrong others takes one a long way towards peace of mind.
Seneca the Younger
Poverty needs much, avarice everything.
Seneca the Younger
The man who spends his time choosing one resort after another in a hunt for peace and quiet will in every place he visits find something to prevent him from relaxing.
Seneca the Younger
He that will do no good offices after a disappointment must stand still, and do just nothing at all. The plough goes on after a barren year and while the ashes are yet warm, we raise a new house upon the ruins of a former.
Seneca the Younger
Those things which make the infernal regions terrible, the darkness, the prison, the river of flaming fire, the judgment seat, are all a fable, with which the poets amuse themselves, and by them agitate us with vain terrors.
Seneca the Younger
Desultory reading is delightful, but to be beneficial, our reading must be carefully directed.
Seneca the Younger
Enjoy present pleasures in such a way as not to injure future ones.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart.
Seneca the Younger
The key to getting everything you want is to never put all your begs in one ask-it!
Seneca the Younger
How many discoveries are reserved for the ages to come when our memory shall be no more, for this world of ours contains matter for investigation for all generations.
Seneca the Younger
Death falls heavily on that man who, known too well to others, dies in ignorance of himself.
Seneca the Younger
Nothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.
Seneca the Younger
If God adds another day to our life, let us receive it gladly.
Seneca the Younger
The state of that man's mind who feels too intense an interest as to future events, must be most deplorable.
Seneca the Younger
We should have a bond of sympathy for all sentient beings, knowing that only the depraved and base take pleasure in the sight of blood and suffering.
Seneca the Younger
I require myself not to be equal to the best, but to be better then the bad.
Seneca the Younger
