Seneca - Moral Letters - 87: Some Arguments in Favour of the Simple Life
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)

Translated by Richard Mott Gummere: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Moral_letters_to_Lucilius/
Notes:
“He who blushes at riding in a rattle-trap will boast when he rides in style”
“Or perchance you think it matters whether one has borrowed from another man or from Fortune”
“That which is good makes men good. For example, that which is good in the art of music makes the musician. But chance events do not make a good man; therefore, chance events are not goods.”
“That which can fall to the lot of any man, no matter how base or despised he may be, is not a good. But wealth falls to the lot of the pander and the trainer of gladiators; therefore wealth is not a good.”
“Good does not result from evil. But riches result from greed; therefore, riches are not a good.”
“That which, while we are desiring to attain it, involves us in many evils, is not a good. But while we are desiring to attain riches, we become involved in many evils; therefore, riches are not a good”
“riches shower upon us a semblance of the good, which is like the reality and wins credence in the eyes of many men.”
“Things which bestow upon the soul no greatness or confidence or freedom from care are not goods. But riches and health and similar conditions do none of these things; therefore, riches and health are not goods.”
