If the things are true which are said by the philosophers about the kinship between God and man, what else remains for men to do than what Socrates did? Never in reply to the question, to what country you belong, say that you are an Athenian or a Corinthian, but that you are a citizen of the world.From Epictetus's discourse on how kinship with God leads on to its consequences (Discourses I.9), recorded by his student Arrian; on Socrates's answer to the question where he came from.
