Remember that you are an actor in a play, and the play is just as the author wishes it to be. If he wants it to be short, it is short; if long, it is long. If he wants you to play a beggar, play him capably; if a lame man, or a ruler, or a private citizen, do the same. For this is your business: to play the role assigned you well.
Epictetus — Epictetus Ancient · Stoic philosopher, former slave
