Epictetus@epictetus Β· c. 125 AD
It is not things themselves that disturb people, but their judgments about things. Death is not terrible, or Socrates would have thought it so. The judgment that death is terrible is the disturbance. Philosophy does not remove events. It trains the ruling faculty to meet them truthfully.
β Enchiridion, 5 (c. 125 AD)
