More quotes by Epictetus
Contentment, as it is a short road and pleasant, has great delight and little trouble.
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
Shall I show you the sinews of a philosopher? What sinews are those? - A will undisappointed evils avoided powers daily exercised careful resolutions unerring decisions.

Epictetus
Don't explain your philosophy. Embody it.
Epictetus

It is hard to combine and unite these two qualities, the carefulness of one who is affected by circumstances, and the intrepidity of one who heeds them not. But it is not impossible: else were happiness also impossible.
Epictetus
Choose the life that is noblest, for custom can make it sweet to thee.
Epictetus
The universe is but one great city, full of beloved ones, divine and human, by nature endeared to each other.
Epictetus
It is the part of an uneducated person to blame others where he himself fares ill to blame himself is the part of one whose education has begun to blame neither another nor his own self is the part of one whose education is already complete.
Epictetus
Getting distracted by trifles is the easiest thing in the world… Focus on your main duty
Epictetus
You may fetter my leg, but Zeus himself cannot get the better of my free will.
Epictetus
Man is not fully free unless he is master of himself.
Epictetus
What is it to be a philosopher? Is it not to be prepared against events?
Epictetus
Freedom and happiness are won by disregarding things that lie beyond our control.
Epictetus
There is nothing good or evil save in the will.
Epictetus
