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:
“Kindly remember that he whom you call your slave sprang from the same stock, is smiled upon by the same skies, and on equal terms with yourself breathes, lives, and dies. It is just as possible for you to see in him a free-born man as for him to see in you a slave”
“Treat your inferiors as you would be treated by your betters”
“I propose to value them according to their character, and not according to their duties. Each man acquires his character for himself, but accident assigns his duties”
“That which annoys us does not necessarily injure us; but we are driven into wild rage by our luxurious lives, so that whatever does not answer our whims arouses our anger”
“they insist that they have received injuries, in order that they may inflict them”
“This, among other things, is a mark of good character: it forms its own judgments and abides by them”
