From Epictetus

We ought neither to fasten our ship to one small anchor nor our life to a single hope.

From the same

We ought to measure both the length of our stride, and the extent of our hope, by what is possible.

From Epictetus

It is much more necessary to cure the soul than the body; for death is better than a bad life.

From the same

Those of our pleasures which come most rarely give the greatest delight.

From the same

If a man should overpass the mean, the most delightful things would become least delightful. 475 VOL. 11.
