Only the most beautiful and proper harvest of the truly educated—tranquility, fearlessness, and freedom.

From The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman. 

What is the fruit of these teachings? Only the most beautiful and proper harvest of the truly educated—tranquility, fearlessness, and freedom. We should not trust the masses who say only the free can be educated, but rather the lovers of wisdom who say that only the educated are free.
