More quotes by Epictetus
I am not eternity, but a man a part of the whole, as an hour is of the day.
Epictetus
The soul's impurity consists in bad judgements, and purification consists in producing in it right judgements, and the pure soul is one which has right judgements, for this alone is proof against confusion and pollution in its functions.
Epictetus
The essence of philosophy is that a man should so live that his happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things.
Epictetus
Never call yourself a philosopher, nor talk a great deal among the unlearned about theorems, but act conformably to them. Thus, at an entertainment, don't talk how persons ought to eat, but eat as you ought. For remember that in this manner Socrates also universally avoided all ostentation.
Epictetus
If you would cure anger, do not feed it. Say to yourself: 'I used to be angry every day then every other day now only every third or fourth day.' When you reach thirty days offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the gods.
Epictetus
It is my business, to manage carefully and dexterously whatever happens
Epictetus
Renew every day your conversation with God: Do this even in preference to eating. Think more often of God than you breathe.
Epictetus
Choose the life that is noblest, for custom can make it sweet to thee.
Epictetus
It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows.
Epictetus
A man that seeks truth and loves it must be reckoned precious to any human society.
Epictetus
Act well your given part the choice rests not with you.
Epictetus
Envy is the antagonist of the fortunate.
Epictetus
Men are disturbed not by the things that happen, but by their opinion of the things that happen.
Epictetus
Freedom isn't the right or ability to do whatever you please. Freedom comes from understanding the limits of our own power and the inherent limits set in place by nature. By accepting life's limits and inevitabilities and working with them rather than fighting them, you become truly free.
Epictetus
Have the wisdom to know what cannot be changed, and the strength to change what can.
Epictetus
Whoever wants to be free, therefore, let him not want or avoid anything that is up to others. Otherwise he will necessarily be a slave.
Epictetus
If you would be a reader, read if a writer, write.
Epictetus
People are not disturbed by things, but by the view they take of them.
Epictetus
Other people's views and troubles can be contagious. Don't sabotage yourself by unwittingly adopting negative, unproductive attitudes through your associations with others.
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
