Freedom is the only worthy goal in life. It is won by disreg... - Epictetus

"Know you not that a good man does nothing for appearance sake, but for the sake of having done right?"

"If anyone tells you that a certain person speaks ill of you, do not make excuses about what is said of you but answer, "He was ignorant of my other faults, else he would not have mentioned these alone."

"Don't explain your philosophy. Embody it."

"I must die. Must I then die lamenting? I must be put in chains. Must I then also lament? I must go into exile. Does any man then hinder me from going with smiles and cheerfulness and contentment?"

"Freedom is the only worthy goal in life. It is won by disregarding things that lie beyond our control."
