William B. Irvine Quotes
For The Stoics, However, The Near Impossibility Of Becoming A Sage Is Not A Problem. They Talk About Sages Primarily So They Will Have A Model To Guide Them In Their Practice Of Stoicism. The Sage Is A Target For Them To Aim At, Even Though They Will Probably Fail To Hit It. The Sage, In Other Words, Is To Stoicism As Buddha Is To Buddhism. Most Buddhists Can Never Hope To Become As Enlightened As Buddha, But Nevertheless, Reflecting On Buddha's Perfection Can Help Them Gain A Degree Of Enlightenment.
