Seneca the Younger

Whatever begins, also ends.

Seneca the Younger

Whatsoever has exceeded its proper limit is in an unstable position.

Seneca the Younger

When a person spends all his time in foreign travel, he ends by having many acquaintances, but no friends.

Seneca the Younger

When once ambition has passed its natural limits, its progress is boundless.

Seneca the Younger

You can only acquire it successfully if you cease to feel any sense of shame.

Seneca the Younger

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.

Seneca the Younger

A large part of mankind is angry not with the sins, but with the sinners.

Seneca the Younger

A man can refrain from wanting what he has not and cheerfully make the best of a bird in the hand.

Seneca the Younger

A man who has taken your time recognises no debt; yet it is the one he can never repay.

Seneca the Younger

A physician is not angry at the intemperance of a mad patient, nor does he take it ill to be railed at by a man in fever. Just so should a wise man treat all mankind, as a physician does his patient, and look upon them only as sick and extravagant.
