I would like to say straight off that I have read through and studied the Discourses, at least ten times, to say nothing of my many excursions into the Enchiridion, and I have never found a single inconsistency in Epictetus's code of tenets. It is a put-together package, free of contradictions.
The old boy may or may not appeal to you, but if he turns you off, don't blame it on incoherence; Epictetus has no problem with logic.
—from James B. Stockdale, The Stoic Warrior's Triad
