Epiktet | Marko Aurelije

Summary

Epictet, Marcus Aurelius: Patterns of will and happiness | Thoughts

1. What invincible man is that? One who is steadfast and cannot be shaken by anything in his power. I imagine him as a wrestler: well, he survived the first fight, will he survive the second? He resisted the money, can he resist a beautiful woman? He resisted during the day, in front of the world, can he resist when he is alone at night? Can he resist fame, slander, praise, death? Does he resist all suffering, all troubles, all miseries? In a word, does he conquer his dreams and aspirations? I am looking for such a wrestler, such a winner.

2. Would Hercules be Hercules, without lions, without tigers, without wild boars, without robbers and all the other evildoers from whom he cleansed this land? And without those monsters, what would be the use of his dexterous hands, his gigantic strength, his lion's courage, his invincible patience, and all his other virtues?

3. Always remember the boldness of the Lateran. Nero once sent his freedman Epaphroditus to ask him about a conspiracy in which the Lateran was also involved. The latter replied only this to Nero's freedman: "If I had something to say, I would only say it to your master." "I will send you to prison," thundered Epaphroditus. "But will I arrive in tears?" "What prevents me from leaving cheerful, full of hope and satisfied with my lot?" "But I have to. I'm dying grumbling and getting better?"
