Speak with Epictetus

Born a slave. Freed by philosophy. He taught emperors and freed men alike. Now he speaks with you — directly, honestly, without comfort.

Seek not that the things which happen should happen as you wish; but wish the things which happen to be as they are, and you will have a tranquil flow of life.

— Epictetus, Enchiridion · Chapter 8
