LISTEN NOW to SENECA's Words of STOIC Wisdom on Flattery, Rashness & Cowardice

🌿“It’s quite possible to be a good man without anyone realizing it. Remember that. And this too: you don’t need much to live happily. And just because you’ve abandoned your hopes of becoming a great thinker or scientist, don’t give up on attaining freedom, achieving humility, serving others, obeying God.”

🌿© Marcus Aurelius, “Meditations”.

🌿“The worst punishment for crime lies in the crime itself. You are mistaken, I maintain, if you propose to reserve your punishments for the hangman or the prison; the crime is punished immediately after it is committed; nay, rather, at the moment when it is committed. Hence, good does not spring from evil, any more than figs grow from olive-trees.”

🌿© Seneca, “Moral Letters to Lucilius”

Reminded this excerpt from Epictetus:

 ‘I want to read Chrysippus’ treatise on the Liar.’ Is that your plan? Then go and jump in the lake and take your ridiculous plan with you. What good could come of it? Your unhappiness will persist the whole time you are reading it, and your anxiety will not abate a bit during a reading of the thing before an audience. Here’s how you behave: ‘Shall I read to you, brother, then you to me?’ ‘Man, it’s marvelous the way you write.’ ‘Well, it’s uncanny how you capture Xenophon’s style.’ ‘And you have caught Plato’s manner.’ ‘And you Antisthenes’!’ Then, having indulged each other in your fatuous fancies, you go back to your former habits: your desires and aversions are as they were, your impulses, designs and plans remain unchanged, you pray and care for the same old things. © Epictetus, “Discourses”.
