Notes from Dr. Borkosky

In the present case Atreus is on the throne, and ... 5. Whenever he castigated our pleasure-seeking lives, and extolled personal purity, moderation in diet, and a mind free from unnecessary, not to speak of unlawful, pleasures, the desire came upon me to limit my food and drink. For sometimes it is an act of bravery even to live. Whatever can happen at any time can happen today. Who vaunts his race, lauds what belongs to others.

“He is a slave.” But shall that stand in his way? Life is long enough. The shortest way to wealth is through the contempt of wealth.

“Slaves!” No, comrades. That is why we give to children a proverb, or that which the Greeks call. Amid all the disturbance of Fortune, he was undisturbed. Because of his health problems, at a young age, he sometimes contemplated suicide, but the thought of imposing this burden upon his father stopped him from doing so: I often entertained the impulse of ending my life then and there; but the thought of my kind old father kept me back. “Slaves!” No, they are our fellow-slaves, if one reflects that Fortune has equal rights over slaves and free men alike.

Why pray? Take that of the younger Marcus Cato, with whom Fortune dealt in a more hostile and more persistent fashion.

Seneca (On The Shortness of Life – Chapter III), On him does death lie heavily, who, but too well known to all, dies to himself unknown. Seneca (Natural Questions), That man lives badly who does not know how to die well.

Associate with those who will make a better man of you. ARGUMENT.

The primary indication, to my thinking, of a well-ordered mind is a man’s ability to remain in one place and linger in his own company. Friendship is always helpful, but love sometimes even does harm, It is disgraceful, instead of proceeding ahead, to be carried along, and then suddenly, amid the whirlpool of events, to ask in a dazed way: “How did I get into this condition?”.

I shall indeed use the old road, but if I find one that makes a shorter cut and is smoother to travel, I shall open the new road. One of three brothers, Seneca (the Younger), moved with his family except for his mother Helvia, to Rome to get an proper education. Neither of these periods of time belongs to you. You can tell the character of every man when you see how he gives and receives. You are doing an excellent thing, one which will be wholesome for you, if, as you write me, you are persisting in your effort to attain sound understanding; it is foolish to pray for this when you can acquire it from yourself.

Great also are the souls of the defenders—men who know that, as long as the path to death lies open, the blockade is not complete, men who breathe their last in the arms of liberty.

Mucius put his hand into the fire. He maintained this attitude up to the very end, and no man ever saw Socrates too much elated or too much depressed. None is, except himself. Your email address will not be published. Just as we suffer from excess in all things, so we suffer from excess in literature; thus. It is all the same; you will not be, and you were not.

2. i.e. But he who bestows all of his time on his own needs, who plans out every day as if it were his last, neither longs for nor fears the morrow.
