More quotes by Epictetus
There is nothing good or evil save in the will.
Epictetus
The appearance of things to the mind is the standard of every action to man.
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
If you do not wish to be prone to anger, do not feed the habit give it nothing which may tend to its increase.
Epictetus
When a youth was giving himself airs in the Theatre and saying, 'I am wise, for I have conversed with many wise men,' Epictetus replied, 'I too have conversed with many rich men, yet I am not rich!’.
Epictetus
Truth is a thing immortal and perpetual, and it gives to us a beauty that fades not away in time, nor does it take away the freedom of speech which proceeds from justice but it gives to us the knowledge of what is just and lawful, separating from them the unjust and refuting them.
Epictetus
What really frightens and dismays us is not external events themselves, but the way in which we think about them. It is not things that disturb us, but our interpretation of their significance.
Epictetus
You bear God within you, poor wretch, and know it not.
Epictetus
If you wish to write, write.
Epictetus
If what the philosophers say be true, that all men's actions proceed from one source that as they assent from a persuasion that a thing is so, and dissent from a persuasion that it is not, and suspend their judgment from a persuasion that it is uncertain, so likewise they seek a thing from a persuasion that it is for their advantage.
Epictetus
Learn to distinguish what you can and can't control. Within our control are our own opinions, aspirations, desires and the things that repel us. They are directly subject to our influence.
Epictetus
With ills unending strives the putter off.
Epictetus
Happiness is an equivalent for all troublesome things.
Epictetus
If a man is unhappy, remember that his unhappiness is his own fault, for God made all men to be happy.
Epictetus
Any person capable of angering you becomes your master.
Epictetus
Dare to look up to God and say, Deal with me in the future as Thou wilt I am of the same mind as Thou art I am Thine I refuse nothing that pleases Thee lead me where Thou wilt clothe me in any dress Thou choosest.
Epictetus
You can be invincible, if you enter into no contest in which it is not in your power to conquer.
Epictetus
Why, do you not know, then, that the origin of all human evils, and of baseness, and cowardice, is not death, but rather the fear of death?
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
Let no man think that he is loved by any who loveth none.
Epictetus
