τὰ περὶ τὸ σῶμα μέχρι τῆς χρείας ψιλῆς παραλάμβανε, οἷον τροφάς, πόμα,
ἀμπεχόνην, οἰκίαν, οἰκετίαν· τὸ δὲ πρὸς δόξαν ἢ τρυφὴν ἅπαν περίγραφε.
In things that pertain to the body take only as much as your bare need
requires, I mean such things as food, drink, clothing, shelter, and household
slaves; but cut down everything that is for outward show or luxury.
EPICTETUS, The Encheiridion
