Victim of yourself

“What Epictetus [told] his students was that there can be no such thing as being the ‘victim’ of another. You can only be a ‘victim’ of yourself. It’s all how you discipline your mind.”

VADM James Bond Stockdale

Hey Captain!
I was wondering if you might have any boot polishing quotes stored up anywhere. I'm doing a demonstration speech on boot polishing for a speech class, and thought a real quote would be a cool way to start it. Thanks!
