Quotes by William Irvine  (?)

“OUR MOST IMPORTANT CHOICE in life, according to Epictetus, is whether to concern ourselves with things external to us or things internal. Most people choose the former because they think harms and benefits come from outside themselves.”
William Irvine

“Who would be a more suitable leader of a city or more worthy to rule over people than a philosopher? It is appropriate for him (if he really is a philosopher) to be wise, self-controlled, magnanimous, a judge of just and proper things, able to accomplish what he sets out to do, and able to endure pain. In addition to these things, he should be bold, fearless, able to face things that seem terrible, and also a benefactor, honest, and humane.”
William Irvine, Musonius Rufus: Lectures and Sayings

“Life blindly breeds, battles, and slaughters its way up to mind and rationality”
William Irvine, Apes, Angels and Victorians: The Story of Darwin, Huxley, and Evolution
