More quotes by Seneca the Younger
What difference does it make, after all, what your position in life is if you dislike it yourself?
Seneca the Younger
He is not guilty who is not guilty of his own free will.
Seneca the Younger
It is a world of mischief that may be done by a single example of avarice or luxury. One voluptuous palate makes many more.
Seneca the Younger
It is within the power of every man to live his life nobly, but of no man to live forever. Yet so many of us hope that life will go on forever, and so few aspire to live nobly.
Seneca the Younger
The fear of war is worse than war itself.
Seneca the Younger
The deep waters of time will flow over us: only a few men of genius will lift a head above the surface, and though doomed eventually to pass into the same silence, will fight against oblivion and for a long time hold their own.
Seneca the Younger
For what else is Nature but God and the Divine Reason that pervades the whole universe and all its parts.
Seneca the Younger
The voice is nothing but beaten air.
Seneca the Younger
Our fears vanish as the danger approaches.
Seneca the Younger
There is no genius without a mixture of madness.
Seneca the Younger
The first step in a person's salvation is knowledge of their sin.
Seneca the Younger
The greater part of progress is the desire to progress.
Seneca the Younger
To the person who does not know where he wants to go there is no favorable wind.
Seneca the Younger
He that makes himself famous by his eloquence, justice or arms illustrates his extraction, let it be never so mean and gives inestimable reputation to his parents. We should never have heard of Sophroniscus, but for his son, Socrates nor of Ariosto and Gryllus, if it had not been for Xenophon and Plato.
Seneca the Younger
Authority founded on injustice is never of long duration.
Seneca the Younger
After death there is nothing.
Seneca the Younger
When modesty has once perished, it will never revive.
Seneca the Younger
We must take care to live not merely a long life, but a full one for living a long life requires only good fortune, but living a full life requires character. Long is the life that is fully lived it is fulfilled only when the mind supplies its own good qualities and empowers itself from within.
Seneca the Younger
Not to feel one's misfortunes is not human, not to bear them is not manly.
Seneca the Younger
Every journey has an end.
Seneca the Younger
