Synopsis "The Enchiridion"

Thank you for checking out this book by Theophania Publishing. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you soon. We have thousands of titles available, and we invite you to search for us by name, contact us via our website, or download our most recent catalogues. The things in our control are by nature free, unrestrained, unhindered; but those not in our control are weak, slavish, restrained, belonging to others. Remember, then, that if you suppose that things which are slavish by nature are also free, and that what belongs to others is your own, then you will be hindered. You will lament, you will be disturbed, and you will find fault both with gods and men. But if you suppose that only to be your own which is your own, and what belongs to others such as it really is, then no one will ever compel you or restrain you. Further, you will find fault with no one or accuse no one. You will do nothing against your will. No one will hurt you, you will have no enemies, and you not be harmed.

Epictetus, or Epictetus, (in Greek: Επίκτητος [Epíktētos], ‘acquired’; Hierapolis, 55-Nicopolis, 135) was a Greek philosopher from the Stoic school who lived part of his life as a slave in Rome. As far as is known, he left no written works, but his teachings survive in an Enchiridion (Ἐγχειρίδιον) or Manual and his Discourses (Διατριβαί), both written by his disciple Flavius Arrian, as well as some fragments.
