“BEHOLDING THE SUN, MOON AND STARS, ENJOYING EARTH AND SEA, A MAN IS
NEITHER HELPLESS NOR ALONE!”
Born a slave in Phrygia, Epictetus completed his life as a Stoic philosopher. Based on simplicity,
intellect, trust, freedom of choice, seizing the moment and cultivating a peaceful mind, his
philosophy keeps lighting the way to a more meaningful life from two thousand years ago.
