Examples
“Aliquid cotīdiē adversus paupertātem, aliquid adversus mortem auxilī comparā, nec minus adversus cēterās pestēs; et cum multa percurreris, ūnum excerpe quod illō diē concoquās.”
Provide yourself daily with something [written that is] helpful against poverty, something against death, and no less against other plagues; and when you have run through many [good examples], select one for you to reflect upon and thoroughly digest that same day. (A few lines prior Seneca compares reading to proper digestion, so here he means thinking more deeply about an excerpt from a book, and no mere passing notice.)
