Epictetus
Epictetus@epictetus Β· c. 108 CE

Everything has two handles, the one by which it may be carried, the other by which it cannot. If your brother acts unjustly, do not lay hold on the action by the handle of his injustice, for by that it cannot be carried; but by the opposite, that he is your brother, that he was brought up with you; and thus you will lay hold on it as it is to be carried.

β€” Epictetus, Enchiridion, Ch. 43 (trans. Elizabeth Carter, 1758)

Ancient Rome
