They will then be agitated, fearful, and unstable.

From The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman. 

For if a person shifts their caution to their own reasoned choices and the acts of those choices, they will at the same time gain the will to avoid, but if they shift their caution away from their own reasoned choices to things not under their control, seeking to avoid what is controlled by others, they will then be agitated, fearful, and unstable.

—EPICTETUS, DISCOURSES, 2.1.12
