A Quote by Epictetus on improve, externals, knowledge, nothing, and distrust

If you would improve, submit to be considered wihout sense and foolish with respect to externals. Wish to be considered to know nothing; and if you shall seem to someone to be a person of importance, distrust yourself.

Epictetus : Roman Stoic philosopher, former slave & tutor of Marcus Aurelius
Epictetus (c. 50 - 120)
