Seneca · Moral Letters to Lucilius

Letter 119 — On Nature as Our Best Provider (§4)

A quote
Look to the end, in all matters, and then you will cast away superfluous things. Hunger calls me; let me stretch forth my hand to that which is nearest; my very hunger has made attractive in my eyes whatever I can grasp. A starving man despises nothing.
