Attaching oneself to the good without desiring praise
EpictetusThe Enrichidion (the handbook)Chapter 23
If it should ever happen to you that you turn to externals with a view to pleasing someone, rest assured that you have lost your plan of life. Be content, therefore, in everything to be a philosopher, and if you wish also to be taken for one, show to yourself that you are one, and you will be able to accomplish it.
