Cita Diaria de Séneca

topic posted Mon, October 9, 2006 - 8:05 PM by  Janet
Por mi clase de español tuve que preparar algo sobre Séneca, que llevó al España romana la filosofía estoica. Me parecen muy interesantes y modernas (o sea universal) unas de sus citas, y voy a compartirselas con Uds.
Por hoy:
Sea silencioso en cuanto a los servicios que ha rendido, pero habla de los favores que ha recibido.

For my Spanish class I had to prepare something about Seneca, who brought stoic philosophy to Roman era Spain. Several of his quotations are very interesting; they seem modern (or universal) and I will share them w/ you.
For today:
"Be quiet about the services you've provided, but speak out about the favors you've recieved."

      "Consulte a su amigo en todas cosas, especialmente en ésos que respetan usted mismo. Su consejo entonces puede ser útil donde su propio egoísmo quizás dañe su juicio."

      "Consult a friend in all things, especially those that pertain to yourself. His advice may be useful where your own egoism may color your judgement."

        "Goce los placeres presentes de tan manera como no herir los futuros."

        "Enjoy today's pleasures in such a way as to not damage future ones."

          No es porque las cosas eran difíciles que nosotros no nos atrevamos; es porque nosotros no nos atrevemos que ellos son difíciles.
          to paraphrase:
          It isn't because things are difficult that we don't dare to try them--it is because we don't dare to try them that they are difficult!
          Me gusta esta pensamiento
