Epictetus, Enchiridion 28
"Nobody hands your body to strangers. Why hand them your mind?" Epictetus said it in Enchiridion 28. Translated from the original Greek by Spartan Surfers.
"εἰ μὲν τὸ σῶμά σού τις ἐπέτρεπε τῷ ἀπαντήσαντι, ἠγανάκτεις ἄν· ὅτι δὲ σὺ τὴν γνώμην τὴν σεαυτοῦ ἐπιτρέπεις τῷ τυχόντι"Original Greek, Enchiridion 28. Greek: Schenkl 1916 (Teubner) via Perseus.
Epictetus (c. 50–135 AD). Born enslaved, became the most influential Stoic teacher of his age. His student Arrian wrote down the Discourses and the Enchiridion.
