Epictetus

"Don't just say you have read books. Show that through them you have learned to think better, to be a more discriminating and reflective person. Books are the training weights of the mind. They are very helpful, but it would be a bad mistake to suppose that one has made progress simply by having internalized their contents."

What would he have done in the absence of such challenges? Obviously he would have just rolled over in bed and gone back to sleep.

What would have been the use of those arms, that physique, and that noble soul, without crises or conditions to stir into him action?"
