Living
Book IX, 208: On the Same
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. III, 1917)
Living
Whoever puts in practice the wise reflections of Epictetus, smiles, sailing calmly on the sea of life, and after this life’s voyage reaches the vault of heaven and the watch-tower amid the stars.
