Meditations

(singke) #1

  1. Socrates dressed in a towel, the time Xanthippe took his
    cloak and went out. The friends who were embarrassed and
    avoided him when they saw him dressed like that, and what
    Socrates said to them.

  2. Mastery of reading and writing requires a master. Still
    more so life.

  3. “... For you/Are but a slave and have no claim to
    logos.”

  4. “But my heart rejoiced.”

  5. “And jeer at virtue with their taunts and sneers.”

  6. Stupidity is expecting figs in winter, or children in old
    age.

  7. As you kiss your son good night, says Epictetus, whisper
    to yourself, “He may be dead in the morning.”


Don’t tempt fate, you say.

By talking about a natural event? Is fate tempted when we
speak of grain being reaped?



  1. Grapes.


Unripe... ripened... then raisins.
