Chapter 38

When walking, you are careful not to step on a nail or turn your foot; so likewise be careful not to hurt the ruling faculty of your mind. And, if we were to guard against this in every action, we should undertake the action with the greater safety.

Epictetus, Enchiridion 38. Translated by Elizabeth Carter (1758). The Stoic Library.
