Seneca · Moral Letters to Lucilius

Letter 106 — On the Corporeality of Virtue (§9)

A quote
Furthermore, any object that has power to move, force, restrain, or control, is corporeal. Come now! Does not fear hold us back? Does not boldness drive us ahead? Bravery spur us on, and give us momentum? Restraint rein us in and call us back? Joy raise our spirits? Sadness cast us down?
