The Wisdom of Stoics




       I did not care for the things that most people care about –making money, having a comfortable home, high military or civil rank, and all the other activities, political appointments, secret societies, party organizations, which go on in our city… I set myself to do you – each one of you, individually and in private – what I hold to be the greatest possible service. I tried to persuade each of you to concern himself less with what he has than with what he is, so as to render himself as excellent and rational as possible. (Plato, Apology 36b–c, quoted in Hadot 1995, 90)
