He is free who lives as he wishes to live, to whom none can do violence, none hinder or compel; whose impulses are unimpeded, whose desires attain their purpose, who falls not into what he would avoid. Who then would live in error? – None. Who would live deceived and prone to fall, unjust, intemperate, in abject whining at his lot? – None. Then does no wicked man live as he would, and therefore neither is he free.
Επίκτητος – Enchiridion
