“No great thing is created suddenly.”
Stoic philosopher · 50 – 135
Epictetus was a Greek-born slave in Rome who won his freedom and became one of the most influential Stoic teachers. His Discourses and the handbook known as the Enchiridion teach that freedom lies in mastering one's own judgments and desires.
