THE EPISTLES OF SENECA observavit ilium, an ex formula sua viveret. Platon et Aristoteles et omnis in diversum itura sapientium turba plus ex moribus quam ex verbis Socratis traxit ; Metrodorum et Hermarchum et Polyaenum magnos viros non schola Epicuri sed contubernium fecit. Nee in hoc te accerso tantum, ut proficias, sed ut prosis ; plurimum enim alter alteri conft-remus. 7 Interim quoniam diurnam tibi mercedtilam debeo, quid me hodie apud Hecatonem delectaverit dicam. "Quaeris," inquit, "quid profecerim ? mihi coepi." Multum profecit ; numquam Scito hunc amicum omnibus esse. VALE. Amicus esse erit solus. VII. SKNECA LVCILIO svo SAI.VTEM 1 Quid tibi vitandum praecipue existimes, quaeris ? Turbam. Nondum illi tuto committeris. Ego eerte confitebor inbecillitatem meam ; numquam mores, quos extuli, refero. Aliquid ex eo, quod conposui, turbatur; aliquid ex iis, quae fngavi, redit.

Plato, Aristotle, and the whole throng of sages who were destined to go each his different way, derived more benefit from the character than from the words of Socrates. It was not the class-room of Epicurus, but living together under the same roof, that made great men of Metrodorus, Hermarchus, and Polyaenus. Therefore I summon you, not merely that you may derive benefit, but that you may confer benefit for ; we can assist each other greatly. Meanwhile, I owe you my little daily contribution ; you shall be told what pleased me to-day in the writings of Hecato a it is these words " : What ; progress, you ask, have I made ? I have begun to be a friend to myself." That was indeed a great benefit ; such a person can never be alone. You may be sure that such a man is a friend to all mankind. Farewell. VII. ON CROWDS Do you ask me what you should regard as especially to be avoided ? I say, crowds for as ; yet you cannot trust yourself to them with safety. I shall admit my own weakness, at any rate for I ; never bring back home the same character that I took abroad with me. Something of that which I have forced to be calm within me is disturbed ; some of the foes that I have routed return again. Just as the sick man, who has been weak for a long time, is in such a condition that he cannot be taken out of 29
