Enchiridion IX

Epictetus, tr. T. W. Higginson (1865)

← 8 Enchiridion 10 →

Sickness is an impediment to the body, but not to the will unless itself pleases. Lameness is an impediment to the leg, but not to the will; and say this to yourself with regard to everything that happens. For you will find it to be an impediment to something else, but not truly to yourself.
