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

“If one does not know to which port is sailing, no wind is favorable.”

“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.”

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

“Each day acquire something that will fortify you against poverty, against death, indeed against other misfortunes as well; and after you have run over many thoughts, select one to be thoroughly digested that day.”

“It is the power of the mind to be unconquerable.”

“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.”

“The secret to a rich life is to have more beginnings than endings.”

“Time is the wisest counsellor of all.”

“Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.”

“If you aren't going all the way, why go at all?”

“You are what you do, not what you say you do.”
