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:
“‘he thinks ill of evil men.’ Well, so do evil men themselves”
“In the case of many men, their vices, being powerless, escape notice”
“In the case of many men, their cruelty, ambition, and indulgence only lack the favour of Fortune to make them dare crimes that would match the worst. That their wishes are the same you will in a moment discover, in this way: give them the power equal to their wishes.”
“we regard as free gifts the things for which we spend our very selves”
“you will perceive that it is not the loss that troubles us with reference to these things, but a notion of loss”
