Philosophical literatureRemember that you ought to behave in life as you should at a banquet. As something is being passed around it comes to you; stretch out your hand, take a portion of it politely. It passes on; do not detain it. Or it has not come to you yet; do not project your desire to meet it, but wait until it comes in front of you. So act toward children, so toward a wife, so toward office, so toward wealth.EpictetusArrian, The Enchiridion · 125★ 3.6
We are not disturbed by what happens to us, but by our thoughts about what happens to us.Epictetus125★ 1.2
