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:
“We can get assistance not only from the living, but from those of the past”
“Choose as a guide one whom you will admire more when you see him act than when you hear him speak”
“Why do you take pleasure in being praised by men whom you yourself cannot praise?”
“These outcries should be left for the arts which aim to please the crowd; let philosophy be worshipped in silence.”
