1093. Homer and Chrysippus

22 Ağustos 2022

If I admire the interpretation [of a philosophical treatise], I have turned into a literary critic instead of a philosopher, the only difference being that, instead of Homer, I’m interpreting Chrysippus. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1092. Don't judge others

19 Ağustos 2022

Someone bathes in haste; don’t say he bathes badly, but in haste. Someone drinks a lot of wine; don’t say he drinks badly, but a lot. Until you know their reasons, how do you know that their actions are vicious? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1091. Non sequiturs

18 Ağustos 2022

The following are non-sequiturs: ‘I am richer, therefore superior to you’; or ‘I am a better speaker, therefore a better person, than you.’ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1090. Every cup has two handles

17 Ağustos 2022

Everything has two handles: one by which it may be borne, another by which it cannot. If your brother acts unjustly, do not lay hold on the affair by the handle of his injustice, for by that it cannot be borne, but rather by the opposite — that he is your brother, that he was brought up with you; a…

1089. Of insults and logic

16 Ağustos 2022

Whenever anyone criticizes or wrongs you, remember that they are only doing or saying what they think is right. They cannot be guided by your views, only their own; so if their views are wrong, they are the ones who suffer insofar as they are misguided. I mean, if someone declares a true conjunctiv…

1088. Wrong priorities

15 Ağustos 2022

As you are careful when you walk not to step on a nail or turn your ankle, so you should take care not to do any injury to your character at the same time. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1087. Conversation and company

12 Ağustos 2022

When you’re called upon to speak, then speak, but never about banalities like gladiators, horses, sports, food and drink – common-place stuff. Above all don’t gossip about people, praising, blaming or comparing them. Avoid fraternizing with non-philosophers. If you must, though, be careful not to s…

1086. Grief and loss

11 Ağustos 2022

When somebody’s wife or child dies, to a man we all routinely say, ‘Well, that’s part of life.’ But if one of our own family is involved, then right away it’s ‘Poor, poor me!’ We would do better to remember how we react when a similar loss afflicts others.

1085. Money

10 Ağustos 2022

If I can make money while remaining honest, trustworthy and dignified, show me how and I will do it. But if you expect me to sacrifice my own values, just so you can get your hands on things that aren’t even good – well, you can see yourself how thoughtless and unfair you’re being. Hosted on Acast…
