Common and vulgar people ascribe all ills that they feel to others; people of little wisdom ascribe to themselves; people of much wisdom, to no one.
EpictetusIt is the part of an uneducated person to blame others where he himself fares ill; to blame himself is the part of one whose education has begun; to blame neither another nor his own self is the part of one whose education is already complete.
EpictetusTo make anything a habit, do it; to not make it a habit, do not do it; to unmake a habit, do something else in place of it.
