Mid Week Quote: Epictetus

Hello!

My chosen quote today is Epictetus c. 50-c. 135 AD. Epictetus was a Greek Stoic philosopher who was born into slavery. Epictetus spent his youth in Rome as a slave to Epaphroditus, a wealthy freedman and secretary to Nero. His social position was a complicated thing because he had the low status of a slave but high status of someone connected to Imperial power.

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