More Stoic Wisdom from Ferris Bueller


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H19uKs99vIw

"What do you care if your brother ditches school?"

"Why should he get to ditch when everybody else has to go?"

"You could ditch."

"Yeah, I'd get caught."

"I see. So you're pissed off because he ditches and doesn't get caught, is that it?"

"Basically."

"Basically. Your problem is you."

"Excuse me?"

"Excuse you. You ought to spend a little more time dealing with yourself, and a little less time worrying about what your brother does. That's just an opinion."

"What are you, a psychiatrist?"

"No."

"Then why don't you keep your opinions to yourself?"

"There's somebody you should talk to."

"If you say Ferris Bueller, you lose a testicle."

"Oh, you know him?"
