Let the weary at length possess quiet rest.

Nature has made us passive, and to suffer is our lot. While we are in the flesh every man has his chain and his clog; only it is looser and lighter to one man than to another, and he is more at ease who takes it up and carries it than he who drags it.

Seneca the Younger 188 quotes

Misfortunes, in fine, cannot b...

Misfortunes, in fine, cannot be avoided; but they may be sweetened, if not overcome, and our lives made happy by philosophy.

He is greedy of life who is not willing to die when the world is perishing around him.

Seneca the Younger 188 quotes

Corporeal punishment falls far more heavily than most weighty pecuniary penalty.

It is remarkable that Providence has given us all things for our advantage near at hand; but iron, gold, and silver, being both the instruments of blood and slaughter and the price of it, nature has hidden in the bowels of the earth.

Seneca the Younger 188 quotes

We pray for trifles without so much as a thought of the greatest blessings; and we are not ashamed many times, to ask God for that which we should blush to own to our neighbor.

Seneca the Younger 188 quotes

The miserable are sacred....

The miserable are sacred.

Beauty is such a fleeting blossom, how can wisdom rely upon its momentary delight?

Death is a release from and an end of all pains.

Seneca the Younger 188 quotes

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 188 quotes

To give and to lose is nothing...

To give and to lose is nothing; but to lose and to give still is the part of a great mind.

Seneca the Younger 188 quotes

That comes too late that comes for the asking.

No book can be so good, as to be profitable when negligently read.

Seneca the Younger 188 quotes

Greatness stands upon a precipice, and if prosperity carries a man never so little beyond his poise, it overbears and dashes him to pieces.

Seneca the Younger 188 quotes

Precepts are like seeds; they ...

Precepts are like seeds; they are little things which do much good; if the mind which receives them has a disposition, it must not be doubted that his part contributes to the generation, and adds much to that which has been collected.

Seneca the Younger 188 quotes

Precepts are the rules by whic...

Precepts are the rules by which we ought to square our lives. When they are contracted into sentences, they strike the affections; whereas admonition is only blowing of the coal.

Seneca the Younger 188 quotes

Death is the wish of some, the...

Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all. It sets the slave at liberty, carries the banished man home, and places all mortals on the same level, insomuch that life itself were a punishment without it.

Seneca the Younger 188 quotes

Be not dazzled by beauty, but ...

Be not dazzled by beauty, but look for those inward qualities which are lasting.
