Seneca’s Most Powerful Quotes

Always remember them.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca, otherwise known as Seneca the Younger, or just Seneca was born in southern Spain over 2,000 years ago and educated in Rome. He was the son of Seneca the Elder, a well-known Roman writer as well as later in his life uncle to the poet Lucan.
One thing that stands out from Seneca is that he is one of the most enjoyable and readable of all ancient philosophers. Part of it was due to the fact that his most notable works came in the form of letters. Two of the most popular include On the Shortness of Life and Letters from a Stoic.

    It was your videos that inspired me to do a Diploma in Stoicism and start to study it for the rest of my days. I am early on in my journey and excited! It was Miyamoto Musashi that kind of led me to Stoicism. And from what I have discovered so far, it is Seneca I resonate with more than any other stoic so far. One of my favourite quotes is. " We suffer more in imagination, than in reality" An unbelievably powerful and layered sentence!

    This dude is part of the reason why the Romans never had an industrial revolution. He talked about how there were inventions made within living memory like steam power and hypocausts, but he said that these were “the works of the lowest slaves” and were to be disregarded. Considering the extreme power of industrialized nations, this quote aged very poorly…
