"The not praising him, whom you don't like to praise; the not bearing with his behavior at coming in."
— Epictetus, Enchiridion, 25

"He does not know my other faults, else he would not have mentioned only these."
— Epictetus, Enchiridion, 33

"Remember, that not he who gives ill language or a blow insults, but the principle which represents these things as insulting.
When, therefore, anyone provokes you, be assured that it is your own opinion which provokes you."
— Epictetus, Enchiridion, 20
