More quotes by Epictetus
Silence is safer than speech.
Epictetus
When our friends are present we ought to treat them well and when they are absent, to speak of them well.
Epictetus
If you seek truth you will not seek victory by dishonorable means, and if you find truth you will become invincible.
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
If I can acquire money and also keep myself modest and faithful and magnanimous, point out the way, and I will acquire 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
Don't explain your philosophy. Embody it.
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
It is a mark of a mean capacity to spend much time on the things which concern the body, such as much exercise, much eating, much drinking, much easing of the body, much copulation. But these things should be done as subordinate things: and let all your care be directed to the mind.
Epictetus
With ills unending strives the putter off.
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
Contentment, as it is a short road and pleasant, has great delight and little trouble.
Epictetus
Bear in mind that you should conduct yourself in life as at a feast.
Epictetus
Think of God more often than thou breathest.
Epictetus
You become what you give your attention to...If you yourself don't choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will, and their motives may not be the highest.
Epictetus
Men are disturbed not by the things that happen, but by their opinion of the things that happen.
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
If you wish to be good, first believe that you are bad.
Epictetus
Don't regard what anyone says of you, for this, after all, is no concern of yours.
Epictetus
Let no man think that he is loved by any who loveth none.
Epictetus
