Chapter 15: On the Shortness of Life, by Seneca the Younger

Today, we read chapter 15 of On the Shortness of Life, by Seneca the Younger.

“These men will show you the way to immortality, and raise you to heights from which no man can be cast down. This is the only way to extend mortality – truly, by transforming time into immortality. Honors, statues and all other mighty monuments to man’s ambition carved in stone will crumble but the wisdom of the past is indestructible."
