Famous quote- Epictetus

Some of the best reading for me is going through quotes of people- famous and not. As poems and aphorisms cause me to think, so do these dense nuggets of knowledge, faith, experience and love.

Here is one that eloquently states what I have felt and believed for quite some time.

All religions must be tolerated... for every man must get to heaven in his own way.
Epictetus

More on Epictetus

I could be blamed for taking a very liberal and weak view, but I believe that God is truly great and if he is the Father and creator as so many religions taut, wouldn't He make many paths for his people as any merely good Father would?

Here is another quote-

There is nothing good or evil save in the will.
Epictetus

So is having money bad? how about considering the will behind it- many good and evil things are done with it. Remember, it is the love of money that is the root of all evil.

And another...

Men are disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them.
Epictetus

Warmly- Tara
