Quotes
Being good is the same as being a philosopher. If you obey your father, you will follow the will of a man; if you choose the philosopher's life, the will of God. It is plain, therefore, that your duty lies in the pursuit of philosophy.
Fragment 16 "What is the best provision for old age," in Moral Exhortation (1986), p. 32
