Seneca the Younger

While we are postponing, life speeds by.

Seneca the Younger

Withdraw into yourself, as far as you can. Associate with those who will make a better man of you. Welcome those whom you yourself can improve. The process is mutual; for men learn while they teach.

Words need to be sown like seeds. No matter how tiny a seed may be, when in lands in the right sort of ground it unfolds its strength and from being minute expands and grows to a massive size.

Seneca the Younger

You can tell the character of every man when you see how he gives and receives praise.

Seneca the Younger

You have to persevere and fortify your pertinacity until the will to good becomes a disposition to good.

Seneca the Younger

You learn to know a pilot in a storm.

Seneca the Younger

You should keep on learning as long as there is something you do not know.

Seneca the Younger

There exists no more difficult art than living.

Seneca the Younger

An age builds up cities: an hour destroys them.
