Epictetus, Golden Sayings 102


You would do good unto men? Then show them by your own example what kind of men philosophy can make, and cease from foolish trifling. 

Eating, do good to them that eat with you; drinking, to them that drink with you; yield unto all, give way, and bear with them. 

Thus shall you do them good, but vent not upon them your own evil humor!
