Epictetus, Golden Sayings 173


It stamps a man of mean capacity to spend much time on the things of the body, as to be long over bodily exercises, long over eating, long over drinking, long over other bodily functions. 

Rather should these things take the second place, while all your care is directed to the understanding.
