More quotes by Epictetus
Be free from grief not through insensibility like the irrational animals, nor through want of thought like the foolish, but like a man of virtue by having reason as the consolation of grief.
Epictetus
As a man, casting off worn out garments taketh new ones, so the dweller in the body, entereth into ones that are new.
Epictetus
Do not so much be ashamed of that disgrace which proceeds from men's opinion as fly from that which comes from the truth.
Epictetus
All philosophy lies in two words, sustain and abstain.
Epictetus
Freedom and slavery, the one is the name of virtue, and the other of vice, and both are acts of the will.
Epictetus

Epictetus
If a man is unhappy, remember that his unhappiness is his own fault, for God made all men to be happy.
Epictetus
Be careful whom you associate with. It is human to imitate the habits of those with whom we interact. We inadvertently adopt their interests, their opinions, their values, and their habit of interpreting events.
Epictetus
Every place is safe to him who lives with justice.
Epictetus
It is difficulties that show what men are. For the future, in case of any difficulty, remember that God, like a gymnastic trainer, has pitted you against a rough antagonist. For what end? That you may be an Olympic conqueror and this cannot be without toil.
Epictetus
Any person capable of angering you becomes your master.
Epictetus
Seek to be the purple thread in the long white gown.
Epictetus
Renew every day your conversation with God: Do this even in preference to eating. Think more often of God than you breathe.
Epictetus
If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.
Epictetus
In order to please others, we loose our hold on our life's purpose.
Epictetus
No living being is held by anything so strongly as by its own needs. Whatever therefore appears a hindrance to these, be it brother, or father, or child, or mistress, or friend, is hated, abhorred, execrated.
Epictetus
Don't demand or expect that events happen as you would wish them do. Accept events as they actually happen. That way, peace is possible.
Epictetus
When something happens, the only thing in your power is your attitude toward it. It is not the things that disturb us, but our interpretation of their significance. Things and people are not what we wish them to be nor are they what they seem to be. They are what they are.
Epictetus
