    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:
    “…does anyone imagine it to be possible that the agency by which feeling is removed can be itself felt”
    “it is as foolish to fear death as to fear old age; for death follows old age precisely as old age follows youth…men simply await that which is sure, but fear only that which is uncertain!"
    “But who is not near death? It is ready for us in all places and at all times.”
    “death itself is always the same distance from us; wherefore, if it is to be feared at all, it is to be feared always.”

    It pleases me greatly that such wise old man still retains his sense humour, and that I laughed at a several hundreds years old joke.
