To quote Epictetus Enchiridion:

- “Some things are up to us and some things are not up to us.”

- “It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.”

- “Don’t seek to have events happen as you want them to, but instead want them to happen as they do; and your life will go well.”

- “It is not things themselves that disturb us, but our opinions about them.”

- “When someone irritates you, realize that the problem lies in you.”

- “If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.”

- “No man is free who is not master of himself.”

- “Remember that you are an actor in a play, the character of which is determined by the Playwright. If He wants it short, it is short; if long, it is long. If He wants you to play the part of a beggar, remember to act even this role well; the same if it be that of a cripple, a ruler, or a private citizen. For your business is to act well the given role, but to choose it belongs to another.”
