Some Things Are In Our Control Some Things Are In Our Control
And Others NotAnd Others Not
Things in our control are:
� Opinion,
� Pursuit,
� Desire,
� Aversion, and, in a word,
� Whatever are our own actions.

Things not in our control are:

� Command, and, in one word,
� Whatever are not our own actions.

The things in our control are by nature:
� Free,
� Unrestrained,
� Unhindered;
but those not in our control are:
� Weak,
� Slavish,
� Restrained,
� Something else,
� Belonging to others.

When therefore we are hindered, or disturbed, or grieved, let us never attribute it to others, but to ourselves; that is, to our own principles.
� An uninstructed person will lay the fault of hisown bad condition upon others.
� Someone just starting instruction will lay the faulton himself.
� Someone who is perfectly instructed will placeblame neither on others nor on himself.
