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)

Notes:
“…whatever the quality of my works may be, read them as if I were still seeking, and were not aware of, the truth…I have sold myself to no man; I bear the name of no master. I give much credit to the judgment of great men; but I claim something also for my own.”
“…quibbling about words and in sophistical argumentation; all that sort of thing exercises the wit to no purpose”
“…survey men in general; there is none whose life does not look forward to the morrow…such persons do not live, but are preparing to live. They postpone everything.”
