Ryan Holiday Quote
First practice not letting people know who you are—keep your philosophy to yourself for a bit. In just the manner that fruit is produced—the seed buried for a season, hidden, growing gradually so it may come to full maturity. But if the grain sprouts before the stalk is fully developed, it will never ripen…. That is the kind of plant you are, displaying fruit too soon, and the winter will kill you. —EPICTETUS, DISCOURSES, 4.8.35b–37
