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:
“it is foolish to pray for this when you can acquire it from yourself.”
“For what is more foolish than to praise in a man the qualities which come from without?”
“No man ought to glory except in that which is his own”
“Praise the quality in him which cannot be given or snatched away, that which is the peculiar property of the man. Do you ask what this is? It is soul, and reason brought to perfection in the soul”
