  Epictetus

  Thinking, Sorrow, Wish

  Epictetus, George Long (2004). “Enchiridion”, p.53, Courier Corporation

• Is freedom anything else than the power of living as we choose? Nothing else. Tell me then, you men, do you wish to live in error? We do not. No one who lives in error is free. Do you wish to live in fear? Do you wish to live in sorrow? Do you wish to live in tension? By no means. No one who is in a state of fear or sorrow or tension is free, but whoever is delivered from sorrows or fears or anxieties, he is at the same time also delivered from servitude.

  Epictetus

  Mean, Men, Errors

• Nadie que se encuentre en un estado de temor o pena o tensión es libre, sino que quien se libera de las penas o los temores o las ansiedades se libera al mismo tiempo de la servidumbre.
