Something Epictetus Said

Epictetus was a Greek philosopher at the turn of of the 2nd century C.E.  He espoused Stoic ethics and was notable for consistency in his principled thinking and for effective methods of teaching. Epictetus vigorously promoted integrity, self-control, and the values of personal freedom.

Here are some things Epictetus said:

—We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.

—If thy brother wrongs thee, remember not so much his wrong-doing, but more than ever that he is thy brother.

—We should not moor a ship with one anchor, or our life with one hope.
