Text Quotes
Death presses heavily on that man, who, being but too well known to others, dies in ignorance of himself  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) Successful crime is dignified with the name of virtue; the good become the slaves of the impious; might makes right; fear silences the power of the law  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) It is the act of the indolent not to know what he may lawfully do. It is praiseworthy to do what is becoming, and not merely what is lawful  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) The swiftness of time in infinite, which is still more evident to those who look back upon the past  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) As fate is inexorable, and not to be moved either with tears or reproaches, an excess of sorrow is as foolish as profuse laughter; while, on the other hand, not to mourn at all is insensibility  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) It is dishonorable to say one thing and think another; how much more dishonorable to write one thing and think another  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) There in no one more unfortunate than the man who has never been unfortunate. For it has never been in his power to try himself  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) Golden palaces break man’s rest, and purple robes cause watchful nights. Oh, if the breasts of the rich could be seen into, what terrors high fortune places within!  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) It is a disgrace to say one thing and think another; but how much more disgraceful to write one thing and think another!  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) A large library is apt to distract rather than to instruct the learner; it is much better to be confined to a few authors than to wander at random over many  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) We have lost morals, justice, honor, piety and faith, and that sense of shame which, once lost, can never be restored  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) This is our chief bane, that we live not according to the light of reason, but after the fashion of others  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) There is nothing so wretched or foolish as to anticipate misfortunes. What madness it is in your expecting evil before it arrives!  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) To things which you bear with impatience you should accustom yourself, and, by habit you will bear them well  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) He who is too powerful, is still aiming at that degree of power with is unattainable  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) Philosophy is the art and law of life, and it teaches us what to do in all cases, and, like good marksmen, to hit the white at any distance  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) The man who has learned to triumph over sorrow wears his miseries as though they were sacred fillets upon his brow; and nothing is so entirely admirable as a man bravely wretched  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) Any one may take like from man, but no one death; a thousand gates stand open to it  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) It goes a great way towards making a man faithful to let him understand that you think him so, and he that does but so much as suspect that I will deceive him gives me a sort of right to cozen him  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) Do you desire not to be angry? Be not inquisitive. He who inquires what is said of him only works out his own misery  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) We sought therefore to amend our will, and not to suffer it through despite to languish long time in error  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) It is the edge and temper of the blade that make a good sword, not the richness of the scabbard, and so it is not money or possessions that make men considerable, but virtue  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) No man can live happily who regards himself alone, who turns everything to his own advantage. Thou must live for another, if thou wishest to live for thyself  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) True joy is a serene and sober motion; and they are miserably out so that take laughing for rejoicing; the seat of it is within, and there is no cheerfulness like the resolutions of a brave mind  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) Watch over yourself. Be your own accuser, then your judge; ask yourself grace sometimes, and, if there is need, impose upon yourself some pain  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes) An old man in his rudiments is a disgraceful object. It is for youth to acquire, and for age to apply  (Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quotes)
