Things you should NOT do, according to the Stoics:
- Don't be overheard complaining...even to yourself (Marcus Aurelius)
- Don't put on airs about your self-improvement (Epictetus
- Don't overindulge in eating or drinking (Musonius)
- Don't speak more than you listen (Zeno)
One word of truth can never be lost ; for ages it may be hidden under rubbish, but it will show itself sooner or later. Truth is indestructible, virtue is indestructible, purity is indestructible.
