Sallust Quotes About Suffering

Quotes about: Suffering

• A good man prefers to suffer rather than overcome injustice with evil.

  Sallust

  Wisdom, Men, Evil

• No man underestimates the wrongs he suffers; many take them more seriously than is right.

  Sallust

  Men, Suffering, Underestimate

• The essences of the Gods never came into existence (for that which always is never comes into existence; and that exists for ever which possesses primary force and by nature suffers nothing): neither do they consist of bodies; for even in bodies the powers are incorporeal. Neither are they contained by space; for that is a property of bodies. Neither are they separate from the first cause nor from one another, just as thoughts are not separate from mind nor acts of knowledge from the soul.

  Sallust

  Essence, Space, Soul

• Souls are punished when they have gone forth from the body, some wandering among us, some going to hot or cold places of the earth, some harassed by spirits. Under all circumstances they suffer with the irrational part of their nature, with which they also sinned. For its sake there subsists that shadowy body which is seen about graves, especially the graves of evil livers.
