See Lecture 10 from "Books That Have Made History: Books That Can Change Your Life," by Professor J. Rufus Fears, University of Oklahoma.
My commentary:
Have this thought ever present with thee, when thou losest any outward thing, what thou gainest in its stead; and it this be more precious, say not, I have suffered a loss. - The Golden Sayings of Epictetus, p. 22/23.
life is granted to no one for permanent ownership, to all on lease. Lucretius - On the Nature of Things, Book 3, Line 971.
-- that what thou lovest is not thine own; it is given thee for the present, not irrevocably nor for ever, but even as a fig or a bunch of grapes at the appointed season of the year . . . . The Golden Sayings of Epictetus, p. 111.
The thirty-sixth book I have finished this year. The eleventh of thirty-five titles in Professor Fears "Books That Have Made History: Books That Can Change Your Life."
p. 748. 10:8 Your hands shaped me and formed me.
Will you not turn around
and destroy me?
p. 769. 31:25 Did not the One who made me
in the womb also make them?
Did not the same God for us both
in the womb?
