Seneca Daily - '..the full force of true friendship' - Day 2

— 1 minute read

From Letter 3 permalink

"You should discuss everything with a friend; but before you do so, discuss in your mind the man himself. After friendship is formed you must trust, but before that you must judge."

"People who never relax, and people who are invariably in a relaxed state merit your disapproval."

"A balanced combination of the two attitudes is what we want; the active man should be able to take things easily, while the man who is inclined towards repose should be capable of action. Ask nature: she will tell you that she made both day and night."
