Epictetus, Golden Sayings 31

You are impatient and hard to please. 

If alone, you call it solitude. 

If in the company of men, you dub them conspirators and thieves, and find fault with your very parents, children, brothers, and neighbors. 

Whereas when by yourself you should have called it Tranquillity and Freedom, and herein deemed yourself like unto the Gods. 

And when in the company of many, you should not have called it a wearisome crowd and tumult, but an assembly and a tribunal, and thus accepted all with contentment.
