Quote by Epictetus (50-138)

• First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.

• Preach not to others what they should eat, but eat as becomes you, and be silent.

• If you would cure anger, do not feed it. Say to yourself: 'I used to be angry every day; then every other day; now only every third or fourth day.' When you reach thirty days offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the gods.

• Know, first, who you are; and then adorn yourself accordingly.

• The good or ill of a man lies within his own will.

• It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows.
