Freedom
Epictetus: Born a slave – passionate about philosophy – died a free man. He lived life simply, yet his words were sought after by eminent figures including the Emperor Hadrian, who was best known for building a wall in which marked the northern limit of Roman Britain.
I was born free…
May I seek out knowledge with the same passion as Epictetus…
“Only the educated are free.”
Epictetus (AD 55 – AD 135)
What wisdom. That was a significant decade–many intelligent persons lived then–true earth shakers.

May we have the same reputation a few centuries into the future!
