The Discourses of Epictetus. The philosophy of Epictetus, a freed slave in the Roman Empire, has been profoundly influential on Western thought: it offers not only stimulating ideas but practical guidance in living one's life. George Long, a leading scholar of later ancient philosophy, gives the definitive presentation of the thought of Epictetus for a broad readership. Long's fresh and vivid translations of a selection of the best of Epictetus' discourses show that his ideas are as valuable and striking today as they were almost two thousand years ago.
This is a book for anyone interested in what we can learn from ancient philosophy about how to live our lives.

Magrey deVega, I revisited a line from one of my old essays. I sent it to him: “You don’t know when the last time of something happening is… you’ll just know when you’ve never had that day again.” His reply brought it all home: “Memento Mori,” he…
Epicetus: Education
“To accuse others for one’s own misfortunes is a sign of want of education. To accuse oneself shows that one’s education has begun. To accuse neither oneself nor others shows that one’s education is complete.” —Epictetus.
