No man is free who is not master of himself... Is freedom anything else than the power of living as we choose?
Epictetus
Image

Epictetus

Epictetus
Image
The origin of sorrow is this: to wish for something that does not come to pass.
Epictetus
Image
An ignorant person is inclined to blame others for his own misfortune. To blame oneself is proof of progress. But the wise man never has to blame another or himself.
Epictetus
Image
If you seek truth you will not seek victory by dishonorable means, and if you find truth you will become invincible.
Epictetus
Image
Let thy speech of God be renewed day by day, aye, rather than thy meat and drink.
Epictetus
Image
If you see anybody wail and complain, call him a slave, though he be clad in purple.
Epictetus
Image
The materials are indifferent, but the use we make of them is not a matter of indifference.
Epictetus
