“I never come back home with the same moral character I went out with; something or other becomes unsettled where I had achieved internal peace; some one or other of the things I had put to flight reappears on the scene.”

Roman Stoic philosopher and statesman of the first century CE, Seneca is best known for his practical essays on ethics and self-discipline, blending philosophical theory with everyday wisdom. His works, including *Letters to Lucilius*, remain influential for their clarity and focus on resilience and moral integrity.
