Quote of the Day

Take care not to casually discuss matters that are of great importance to you with people who are not important to you. … Most people only know how to respond to an idea by pouncing on its shortfalls rather than identifying its potential merits. Practice self-containment so that your enthusiasm won’t be frittered away.

- Epictetus, Art of Living: The Classical Manual on Virtue, Happiness, and Effectiveness
