Caison Britt’s Reviews > The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living > Status Update

“In public avoid talking often and excessively about your accomplishments and dangers, for however much you enjoy recounting your dangers, it’s not so pleasant for others to hear about your affairs.” —EPICTETUS, ENCHIRIDION, 33.14

“..even what we get for free has a cost, if only in what we pay to store it—in our garages and in our minds.” —Holiday

“No slavery is more disgraceful than one which is self-imposed.” —Seneca

“Don’t fear self-assessment because you’re worried you might have to admit some things about yourself.” —Holiday

“Seneca was an incredibly wealthy, even famous, man—yet he was a Stoic. He had many material things, yet, as the Stoics say, he was also indifferent to them. He enjoyed them while they were there, but he accepted that they might someday disappear. What a better attitude than desperately craving more or fearfully dreading losing even one penny. Indifference is solid middle ground.” —Holiday

“..it’s easy to fight back. It’s tempting to give them a piece of your mind. But you almost always end up with regret.” —Holiday
