Epictetus, Golden Sayings 148


To each man God has granted this inward freedom. 

These are the principles that in a house create love, in a city concord, among nations peace, teaching a man gratitude towards God and cheerful confidence, wherever he may be, in dealing with outward things that he knows are neither his nor worth striving after.
