Moral Letters to Lucilius - 37: On Allegiance to Virtue

“These passions…can be banished from you by wisdom, which is the only real freedom”
“…and if you would have all things under your control, put yourself under the control of reason”
“You can show me no man who knows how he began to crave that which he craves. He has not been led to that pass by forethought; he has been driven to it by impulse”
“It is disgraceful, instead of proceeding ahead, to be carried along”
