May 17th Reading from The Daily Stoic - The Stoic Is A Work In Progress


"Show me someone sick and happy, in danger and happy, dying and happy, exiled and happy, disgraced and happy. Show me! By God, how much I'd like to see a Stoic. But since you can't show me someone that perfectly formed, at least show me someone actively forming themselves so, inclined in this way . . . Show me!"

~ Epictetus, Discourses, 2.19.24-25a, 28
