“Before I became old I tried to live well; now that I am old, I shall try to die well; but dying well means dying gladly.”
Meaning: Seneca reflects in old age that living well and facing death with calm belong together. He writes to Lucilius about meeting death cheerfully. Use it as a prompt to live so that you would have few regrets, and to appreciate each ordinary day.
