Seneca - Moral Letters - 85: On Some Vain Syllogisms
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:
“Again, if reason prevails, the passions will not even get a start; but if they get under way against the will of reason, they will maintain themselves against the will of reason. For it is easier to stop them in the beginning than to control them when they gather force”
“the evils that afflict the mind do not admit of moderation. You can more easily remove than control them.”
“For it is easier to keep a thing out than to keep it under after you have let it in”
“it is the surrendering of one's liberty into their control, when really we ought to suffer all things in order to preserve this liberty”
“no human virtue can rid itself of feelings”
“The wise man's purpose in conducting his life is not to accomplish at all hazards what he tries, but to do all things right"
