Synopsis "The Golden Sayings of Epictetus Epictetus"

Are these the only works of Providence in us? What words suffice to praise or set them forth? Had we but understanding, should we ever cease hymning and blessing the Divine Power, both openly and in secret, and telling of His gracious gifts? Whether digging or ploughing or eating, should we not sing the hymn to God: - Great is God, for that He hath given us such instruments to till the ground withal: Great is God, for that He hath given us hands, and the power of swallowing and digesting; of unconsciously growing and breathing while we sleep!

Epictetus, or Epictetus, (in Greek: Επίκτητος [Epíktētos], ‘acquired’; Hierapolis, 55-Nicopolis, 135) was a Greek philosopher from the Stoic school who lived part of his life as a slave in Rome. As far as is known, he left no written works, but his teachings survive in an Enchiridion (Ἐγχειρίδιον) or Manual and his Discourses (Διατριβαί), both written by his disciple Flavius Arrian, as well as some fragments.
