Quote of the Day by Epictetus: No man is free who is not master of himself A life lesson on controlling your impulses

Quote of the Day by Epictetus: No man is free who is not master of himself presents self-mastery as a foundation of genuine freedom.

The quote offers a lasting lesson on discipline, conscious choices and taking responsibility for ones responses.
