The Handbook of Epictetus
Handbook 25.5
Translated by Clint Miller
English
Have you nothing, then, in place of the dinner? You have this: you did not praise a man you did not want to praise, and you did not have to put up with the doormen at his entrance.
Greek
οὐδὲν οὖν ἔχεις ἀντὶ τοῦ δείπνου; ἔχεις μὲν οὖν τὸ μὴ ἐπαινέσαι τοῦτον, ὃν οὐκ ἤθελες, τὸ μὴ ἀνασχέσθαι αὐτοῦ τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς εἰσόδου.
