Kaylee (kay133) | 128 comments I searched for this quote by Epictetus, and GR gave three copies of it:

Johnathan Haidt quoted Epictetus in his book, but Haidt is not the author of this quote, Epictetus is—so it should be attributed to Epictetus.

Hi Kaylee
I knew there had been discussion about quotes like this in the past.
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

The problem is I'm not sure how I handle it. &, to my surprise, both the Haidt 'quotes' have been added by different members.

I'll have to ask, sorry.
