'Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems'.
Epictetus quoted by C.Wilson (1989) 'Maslow, Sheldrake, and the Peak Experience' in Semiotext[e] SF. New York, Semiotext[e].
To paraphase: 'Men are not worried by things, but by their ideas about things. When we meet with difficulties, become anxious or troubled, let us not blame others, but rather ourselves, that is, our ideas about things.'
