capshaw 's review for:
Enchiridion
by Epictetus
Not as good as Meditations, but that's a really high bar. Key tenets within: moderation / kindness / virtue / freedom from desire.
"Nothing is smaller ... than love of pleasure, and love of gain and pride. Nothing is superior to magnanimity, and gentleness, and love of mankind, and beneficence" (LI)
"Choose rather to punish your appetites than to be punished through them" (CXIII)
"He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which has not, but rejoices for those which he has" (CXXIX)
