Be careful to leave your sons well instructed rather than rich, for the hopes of the instructed are better than the wealth of the ignorant.
EpictetusAs in walking it is your great care not to run your foot upon a nail, or to tread awry, and strain your leg; so let it be in all the affairs of human life, not to hurt your mind or offend your judgment. And this rule, if observed carefully in all your deportment, will be a mighty security to you in your undertakings.
EpictetusNo great thing is created suddenly. There must be time. Give your best and always be kind.
EpictetusWhen you let go of your attention for a little while, do not think you may recover it whenever you please.
