Epictetus, Golden Sayings 5


Rufus used to say, If you have the leisure to praise me, what I say is nothing. 

In truth he spoke in such a manner, that each of us who sat there, thought that someone had accused him to Rufus. 

So surely did he lay his finger on the very deeds we did, so surely did he display the faults of each before his very eyes.
