Fool, have you not hands, did not God make them for you? Sit down now and pray that your nose may not run." [98] Cf. Cicero's Stoic, _N.D._ ii, 66, 167, _Nemo igitur vir magnus sine aliquo afflatu divino unquam fuit_. [99] Ep. 41, 1, 2. (The line is from Virgil, _Aen._ viii, 352.) The rest of the letter develops the idea of divine dependence. _Sic animus magnus ac sacer et in hoc demissus at propius quidem divina nossemus, conversatur quidem nobiscum sed haeret origini suae, etc_. [100] Ep. 73, 15, 16. [101] Epictetus, _D._ i, 6. [102] _D._ i, 9. [103] _D._ iv, 1. [104] _D._ iv, 1.
