Chapter XX
Remember that it is not he who reviles you or strikes you, who insults you, but it is your opinion about these things as being insulting. When then a man irritates you, you must know that it is your own opinion which has irritated you.
from The Enchiridion · tr. Thomas Wentworth Higginson (1865)
