爱比克泰德《论说集与手册》· Discourses and Enchiridion · 健康 · 认知 · 行动 · 心性
And we ought to retain these verses in such way that we may use them, not that we may utter them aloud, as when we exclaim, “Paean Apollo.” Again in fever we should have ready such opinions as concern a fever; and we ought not, as soon as the fever begins, to lose and forget all. A man who has a fever may say: If I philosophize any longer, may I be hanged: wherever I go, I must take care of the poor body, that a fever may not come. But what is philosophizing? Is it not a preparation against events which may happen? Do you not understand that you are saying something of this kind? “If I shall still prepare myself to bear with patience what happens, may I be hanged.” But this is just as if a man after receiving blows should give up the Pancratium. In the Pancratium it is in our power to desist and not to receive blows.

白话
爱比克泰德说，记住那些哲学诗句是为了用，不是为了像喊“阿波罗颂”那样大声念。发烧时也要准备好应对发烧的看法，不能一病就把学过的全忘了。有人一发烧就说：“再搞哲学就让我吊死吧，我得先照顾这副可怜身体。”可哲学不正是为可能发生的事做准备吗？这等于说“再准备忍耐就让我吊死”。好比拳击手挨了打就退出比赛。拳击里可以认输不挨打，但人生这场训练，放弃哲学就什么也得不到。
上下文
爱比克泰德用竞技训练比喻哲学修炼。当时哲学诗句常被背诵，他提醒不要只停留在口头上。

我生病或难受时，是丢掉平时练的道理，还是把它当成一次实战练习？
