Epictetus Said

Photo: Mr. Dickie (My Christmas Village)

The exposure of a lie is as valuable to a community as a clearly expressed truth. (Anonymous in A Calendar of Wisdom by Leo Tolstoy, 15 September)

Sometimes the hard way is the best way. (Susan Smith Jones, Choose to Live Each Day Fully, Day 261)

Don't hang out with people who are where you don't want to be. (Iyanla Vanzant, Acts of Faith, 18 September)

When you are offended at any man's fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger. (Epictetus in One Day at a Time in Al-Anon, 23 September)
