Inspiration Quote by Seneca — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.”

“Nothing, to my way of thinking, is a better proof of a well ordered mind than a man’s ability to stop just where he is and pass some time in his own company.”

“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”

“No man was ever wise by chance.”

“There is one thing, too, in which the wise man actually surpasses any god: a god has nature to thank for his immunity from fear, while the wise man can thank his own efforts on this.”

“Let us cherish and love old age; for it is full of pleasure if one knows how to use it. Fruits are most welcome when almost over; youth is most charming at its close; the last drink delights the toper, the glass which souses him and puts the finishing touch on his drunkenness. Each pleasure reserves to the end the greatest delights which it contains. Life is most delightful when it is on the downward slope, but has not yet reached the abrupt decline.”

“The worst bankrupt in the world is the person who has lost his enthusiasm.”

“Just trust yourself, then you will know how to live.”

“First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.”

“Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from not and make a brand new ending.”

“Important principles may, and must, be inflexible.”

“Learn to listen. Opportunity could be knocking at your door very softly.”
