Seneca - Moral Letters - 40: On the Proper Style for a Philosopher's Discourse

This is my own recording of a public domain text. It is not copied and I retain the copyright.
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:
“speech that deals with the truth should be unadorned and plain”
“…do not regard those men who seek how much they may say, rather than how they shall say it”
“…you could only be successful in practising this style by losing your sense of modesty…For that heedless flow will carry with it many expressions which you would wish to criticize”
“Therefore, the ultimate kernel of my remarks is this: I bid you be slow of speech”

Well this one was fantastic as they all are. This offers alot of thought and deliberation on how one speaks or how you choose to speak. The distinction between the Greeks and Romans got my attention here aswell. To take stalk in the words the weight and worth of these words.
