"For no one will cause you harm if you don't wish it; you'll have been harmed only when you suppose that you've been harmed." - Epictetus, Handbook
I am particularly moved by the transcendence of shared human experience across the ages while reading this knowing that the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius tried to deal with the troubles he encountered daily by reading the same teachings and putting them into his own words and reminding himself in his journal to put them into practice.
