Prosthetic Conscience

From the Enchiridion

It is the act of an ill-instructed man to blame others for his own bad condition; it is the act of one who has begun to be instructed to lay the blame on himself; and of one whose instruction is completed, neither to blame another, nor himself.
— Epictetus, translated by George Long
