The Golden Sayings is a collection of philosophical teachings and maxims by the ancient Greek philosopher Epictetus. The book is divided into four parts and covers a wide range of topics such as virtue, wisdom, happiness, and the nature of the universe. Epictetus emphasizes the importance of living a virtuous life and the role of reason in achieving happiness. He also stresses the need to accept what is beyond our control and to focus on what we can control, namely our own thoughts and actions. The Golden Sayings is a timeless classic that offers practical advice for living a fulfilling life and has influenced countless readers throughout history.He that hath grasped the administration of the World, who hath learned that this Community, which consists of God and men, is the foremost and mightiest and most comprehensive of all: -- that from God have descended the germs of life, not to my father only and father's father, but to all things that are born and grow upon the earth, and in an especial manner to those endowed with Reason (for those only are by their nature fitted to hold communion with God, being by means of Reason conjoined with Him) --why should not such an one call himself a citizen of the world? Why not a son of God? Why should he fear aught that comes to pass among men? Shall kinship with Caesar, or any other of the great at Rome, be enough to hedge men around with safety and consideration, without a thought of apprehension: while to have God for our Maker, and Father, and Kinsman, shall not this set us free from sorrows and fears?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
