Epictetus — "Sickness is an impediment to the body, but not to the will, unless the will itse…"

Sickness is an impediment to the body, but not to the will, unless the will itself chooses. Lameness is an impediment to the leg, but not to the will. And this you should say on every occasion: for in every accident that befalls you, you will find that it is an impediment to something else rather than to yourself.
Epictetus — Epictetus Ancient · Stoic philosopher, former slave
