Seneca The Younger

It’s all in your head – you have the power to make things seem hard or easy or even amusing. The choice is yours.
-Seneca the Younger

The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.

-Seneca the Younger

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.
-Seneca the Younger

Be harsh with yourself at times.

-Seneca the Younger

A sword by itself does not slay; it is merely the weapon used by the slayer.
-Seneca the Younger

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that things are difficult.
-Seneca the Younger

Associate with people who are likely to improve you.
-Seneca the Younger

The important thing about a problem is not its solution, but the strength we gain in finding the solution.
-Seneca the Younger

Men can be divided into 2 groups: one that goes ahead and achieves something, and one that comes after and criticizes.
-Seneca the Younger

Don’t stumble over something behind you.
