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

“The conditions of conquest are always easy. We have but to toil awhile, endure awhile, believe always, and never turn back.”

“No matter how many men you kill, you can't kill your successor.”

“The mind unlearns with difficulty what it has long learned.”

“Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.”

“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”

“Of all people only those are at leisure who make time for philosophy, only those are really alive. For they not only keep a good watch over their own lifetimes, but they annex every age to theirs. All the years that have passed before them are added to their own. Unless we are very ungrateful, all those distinguished founders of holy creeds were born for us and prepared for us a way of life. By the toil of others we are led into the presence of things which have been brought from darkness into light. We are excluded from no age, but we have access to them all; and if we are prepared in loftiness of mind to pass beyond the narrow confines of human weakness, there is a long period of time through which we can roam.”

“A true philosopher must never give up.”

“we are finite, in that we are a product and source of the infinite.”

“Some want to live within the sound”

“A text is not a text unless it hides from the first comer, from the first glance, the law of its composition and the rules of its game. A text remains, moreover, forever imperceptible. Its laws and rules are not, however, harbored in the inaccessibility of a secret; it is simply that they can never be booked, in the present, into anything that could rigorously be called a perception.”

“You do not write your life with words...You write it with actions. What you think is not important. It is only important what you”

“Progress without humility is just destruction in disguise.”
