Simple Stoic Advice
A Happy Life
A Happy Life
The beautiful thing about Stoic philosophy is the advice contained within it is just as applicable today as it was when it was first written all those many years ago. We can learn a great deal from interpreting the advice provided and using it to our advantage as we go throughout our own lives.
Today’s quote comes to us courtesy of Epictetus, from one of his fragments, Fragment XXX:
Quote
“A pilot and a fair wind are necessary to a happy voyage; reason and art, to a happy life.”
Advice
Reason is one of the highest virtues one can hold in life. It is how we understand the world and events which unfold. Art is a gift to the world in which the artist helps us to understand events through their work.
