Moral letters to Lucilius
The Epistulae morales ad Lucilium is 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.

Translated by Richard Mott Gummere

(These Moral Letters are also the same letters which Tim Ferriss promotes in the Tao of Seneca)

Notes:
“Let not the eyes be dry when we have lost a friend, nor let them overflow. We may weep, but we must not wail.”
“For I have had them as if I should one day lose them; I have lost them as if I have them still”
“Fortune has taken away, but Fortune has given.”
“But will you tolerate men who are most careless of their friends, and then mourn them most abjectly, and do not love anyone unless they have lost him?”
“You have buried one whom you loved; look about for someone to love. It is better to replace your friend than to weep for him.”
“In former days I ought to have said: "My friend Serenus is younger than I; but what does that matter? He would naturally die after me, but he may precede me." It was just because I did not do this that I was unprepared when Fortune dealt me the sudden blow.”
