If thy brother wrongs thee, remember not so much his wrong-doing, but more than ever… — Epictetus

If thy brother wrongs thee, remember not so much his wrong-doing, but more than ever that he is thy brother.

In the original Greek

ὁ ἀδελφὸς ἐὰν ἀδικῇ, ἐντεῦθεν αὐτὸ μὴ λάμβανε, ὅτι ἀδικεῖ (αὕτη γὰρ ἡ λαβή ἐστιν αὐτοῦ οὐ φορητή), ἀλλὰ ἐκεῖθεν μᾶλλον, ὅτι ἀδελφός.
