Our actions are all determined by our impressions

Epictetus, Discourses, Book I, 28:
Whoever keeps in mind that our actions are all determined by our impressions, which can be either right or wrong...whoever keeps this in mind will not be angry or upset with anyone, won't curse, blame, resent or malign anyone either.
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Book Four, 7:
Choose not to be harmed - and you won't feel harmed.
Don't feel harmed - and you haven't been.
