"For nothing outside my reasoned choice can hinder or harm it - my reasoned choice alone can do this to itself. If we would lean this way whenever we fail, and would blame only ourselves and remember that nothing but opinion is the cause of a troubled mind and uneasiness, then by God, I swear we would be making progress."
~ Epictetus, Discourses, 3.19.2-3
