The Stoic: Difference between revisions

* Speaking of Emperor Marcus, some say he was inspired by Epicetus, a slave and a cripple(some say his master beat him) who became a Stoic and taught disciples in the city square after he was freed. In other words of the two most famous Stoics [[Odd Couple|one was an Emperor and one was a slave]].

* [[Ub Iwerks]] could be a cold, distant figure in real life—as mentioned in his biography, when he learned that his ner-do-well father (who abandoned him and his mother as a teenager) had died, he coldly replied "Throw him in a ditch."

* The Duke of Wellington. [[No True Scotsman|But then]] [[Stiff Upper Lip|he was British.]]
