Epictetus, Enchiridion 12
"Spilled oil? Stolen wine? That's the price of calm. Nothing's free." Epictetus said it in Enchiridion 12. Translated from the original Greek by Spartan Surfers.
"ἐκχεῖται τὸ ἐλάδιον, κλέπτεται τὸ οἰνάριον· ἐπίλεγε ὅτι τοσούτου πωλεῖται ἀπάθεια, τοσούτου ἀταραξία· προῖκα δὲ οὐδὲν περιγίνεται."Original Greek, Enchiridion 12. 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.
