Additional quotes by Epictetus
Por lo tanto, cuando nos sintamos perturbados o afligidos, no lo atribuyamos a los demás, sino a nosotros mismos, es decir, a nuestras propias concepciones. Es normal esperar de alguien poco instruido que atribuya a los demás sus propias desgracias; de una persona que comienza a instruirse, reprocharse a sí misma; y de una persona altamente instruida, no reprochar ni a los demás ni a sí misma.
