Daily Stoic Quote

A different quote each day on Stoicism from Stoic masters, both past and present.

Today's quote, for Tuesday 10th of February 2026 is:

"Take a lyre player: he's relaxed when he performs alone, but put him in front of an audience, and it's a different story, no matter how beautiful his voice or how well he plays the instrument. Why? Because he not only wants to perform well, he wants to be well received - and the latter lies outside his control."

- Epictetus
