"Never call yourself a philosopher, and don't talk among laymen for the most part about philosophical principles, but act in accordance with those principles ... And accordingly, if any talk should arise among laymen about some philosophical principle, keep silent for the most part, for there is a great danger that you'll simply vomit up what you haven't properly digested ... For sheep, too, don't vomit up their fodder to show the shepherds how much they've eaten, but digest their food inside them, and produce wool and milk on the outside. And so you likewise shouldn't show off your principles to laymen, but rather show them the actions that result from those principles when they've been properly digested." - Epictetus, Handbook
In other words: don't talk your philosophy, embody it. Live it.
