Here are my favorite sayings of Seneca Moral Letters
“True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is a content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.” ― Seneca
“Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.” ― Seneca
“If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.”
It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much. ... The life we receive is not short but we make it so; we are not ill provided but use what we have wastefully.” Seneca
“Until we have begun to go without them, we fail to realize how unnecessary many things are. We've been using them not because we needed them but because we had them.”
“Putting things off is the biggest waste of life: it snatches away each day as it comes, and denies us the present by promising the future. The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow, and loses today. You are arranging what lies in Fortune's control, and abandoning what lies in yours. What are you looking at? To what goal are you straining? The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately.”
― Seneca
“Wealth is the slave of a wise man. The master of a fool ”
― Seneca
“If you live in harmony with nature you will never be poor; if you live according to what others think, you will never be rich.”
― Seneca,
“As long as you live, keep learning how to live.”
―Seneca
