Epictetus, Golden Sayings 134


To a good man there is no evil, either in life or death. 

And if God supply not food, has He not, as a wise Commander, sounded the signal for retreat and nothing more? 

I obey, I follow—speaking good of my Commander, and praising His acts. For at His good pleasure I came; and I depart when it pleases Him; and while I was yet alive that was my work, to sing praises unto God!
