“Disease is an impediment to the body, but not to the will, unless the will itself chooses. Lameness is an impediment to the leg, but not to the will. And add this reflection on the occasion of every thing that happens; for you will find it an impediment to something else, but not to yourself.”

—Epictetus, Encheiridion 9 (arranged by Arrian) (tr. G. Long, 1877)
