Quote of the Day

Seneca | Letters on Ethics | Letter 13

D.A. DiGerolamo
The Stoic Within

--

Today’s quote comes from Seneca and his moral letters to Lucilius. The translation is from the Margaret Graver & A.A. Long translation entitled Letters on Ethics. Unlike Letters from a Stoic which features an older translation and only a selection of the letters from Seneca to Lucilius, Letters on Ethics features all 124 letters with beautiful explanatory notes about the letters and Stoic philosophy as a whole.

If you’re looking to get your feet wet with Seneca, try Letters from a Stoic. But if you’ve already read Letters from a Stoic or want even more of Seneca’s letters, then I highly recommend spending the money and opting for Letters on Ethics.
