Play the part well!

The Enchiridion - pg,502 - Epictetus

Remember that you are an actor in a play
-the playwright chooses the manner of it
If He wants it short, it is short
If long, it's long

If He wants you to act poor man
you must, with all your powers
If your part be a magistrate or plain man
so too - work your part
for your business is to serve the character that is given to you
and act it well

The choice of the cast- though
He decides!!!
