113:15
Book Subtitle: Seneca's timeless letters of advice and wisdom.
Book Description: The final volume of Seneca's moral letters. Common Stoic themes emerge again and again: the unreliability of fortune, the ability to form Stoic resolve, and the importance of virtue.

Again, no living thing is part of another living thing.
But Justice is a part of the soul; therefore Justice is not a living thing.
It looks as if I were wasting time over something that is an acknowledged fact; for one ought to decry such a topic rather than debate it.
And no two living things are equal.
Consider the bodies of all beings: every one has its particular colour, shape, and size.
