Manuel D'Epictète

For centuries, Stoicism was virtually the unofficial religion of the Roman world
The stress on endurance, self-restraint, and power of the will to withstand calamity can often seem coldhearted. It is Epictetus, a lame former slave exiled by Emperor Domitian, who offers by far the most precise and humane version of Stoic ideals. The Discourses, assembled by his pupil Arrian, catch him in action, publicly setting out his views on ethical dilemmas.Committed to communicating with the broadest possible audience, Epictetus uses humor, imagery conversations and homely comparisons to put his message across. The results are perfect universal justice and calm indifference in the face of pain. 
  The most comprehensive edition available with an introduction, notes, selected criticism, glossary, and chronology of Epictetus' life and times.

Le Manuel d'Épictète: Traduit du Grec en Français

«Mais toi, tu manques de ressort, tu es difficile à contenter, et si tu es isolé, tu appelles ton isolement un désert, et si tu te trouves avec les hommes, tu les traites d'intrigants et de bandits. Tu devrais plutôt, si tu es seul, appeler ton isolement repos et liberté et te comparer aux dieux, et si tu es en compagnie nombreuse, ne pas nommer cela cohue, vacarme, spectacle odieux, mais bien fête, réjouissance populaire, et ainsi tout accepter avec contentement.» La philosophie comme art de vivre, pour mener une existence sereine et exempte de troubles, par l'un des grands sages stoïciens antiques.
