Our duties naturally emerge form such fundamental relations as our families, neighborhoods, workplaces, our state or nation. Make it your regular habit to consider your roles-parent, child, neighbor, citizen, leader-and the natural duties that arise from them. Once you know who you are and to whom you are linked, you will know what to do.
EpictetusIf anyone is unhappy, remember that his unhappiness is his own fault... Nothing else is the cause of anxiety or loss of tranquility except our own opinion.
EpictetusNo man is free who is not master of himself... Is freedom anything else than the power of living as we choose?
EpictetusIt's so simple really: If you say you're going to do something, do it. If you start something, finish it.
