Epictetus
Image
God has entrusted me with myself. No man is free who is not master of himself. A man should so live that his happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things. The world turns aside to let any man pass who knows where he is going.
Epictetus
Image
He who laughs at himself never runs out of things to laugh at.
Epictetus
