The Moral Letter to Lucilius are a collection of 124 letters which were written by Seneca the Younger at the end of his life, during his retirement, and written after he had worked for the Emperor Nero for fifteen years. (These Moral Letters are the same letters which Tim Ferriss promotes in the Tao of Seneca)

Translated by Richard Mott Gummere: en.wikisource.org/wiki/Moral_letters_to_Lucilius
Notes:
“...your faults will follow you whithersoever you travel”
“…the reason which set you wandering is ever at your heels.”
“...it becomes more troublesome by reason of your very restlessness”
“...you hurt yourself by your very unrest”
“...you are drifting and being driven, only exchanging one place for another, although that which you seek, – to live well, – is found everywhere”
“It helps little to have cast out your own faults if you must quarrel with those of others."
"...you must discover yourself in the wrong before you can reform yourself"
“...as far as possible, prove yourself guilty, hunt up charges against yourself; play the part, first of accuser, then of judge, last of intercessor. At times be harsh with yourself”
