Only the educated are free.

It is not so much what happens to you as how you think about what happens." Epictetus

Embrace reality. Think about what delights you - the small luxuries on which you depend, the people whom you cherish most. But remember that they have their own distinct character, which is quite a separate matter from how we happen to regard them.

It is the act of an ill-instructed man to blame others for his own bad condition; it is the act of one who has begun to be instructed, to lay the blame on himself; and of one whose instruction is completed, neither to blame another, nor himself.

You are a little soul carrying around a corpse.

There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.

Only the educated are free.
