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:
“I shall keep watching myself continually, and – a most useful habit – shall review each day”
“the sage, even if now and then he is led on by good cheer which, for a friend's sake, is carried somewhat too far, yet always stops short of drunkenness”
“…if you wish to prove that a good man ought not to get drunk, why work it out by logic?”
“Drunkenness does not create vice, it merely brings it into view”
“What glory is there in carrying much liquor?”
“…what men call pleasures are punishments as soon as they have exceeded due bounds.”
