Put into Practice

 Stoic 6 Pack   ; pg.153

Discourses of Epictetus

A flute, lyre, Horse, and Dog

Are preserved when they keep their promise

A (wo)man also in like manner is preserved

By delivering on their promise

 

Each (wo)man is improved and preserved

By corresponding acts

Carpenter by Carpentry, Grammarian by acts of grammar

Modest action preserves modest (wo)man

Fidelity preserves the faithful (wo)man

 

So be not satisfied with Learning only

Add your practice to it!

Put into practice the right opinion

Discourse alone is not enough
