More quotes by Epictetus
No man is disturbed by things, but by his opinion about things.
Epictetus
When one maintains his proper attitude in life, he does not long after externals.
Epictetus
If you have anything better to be doing when death overtakes you, get to work on that.
Epictetus
You can be invincible, if you enter into no contest in which it is not in your power to conquer.
Epictetus
It is not the events but our viewpoint toward events that is the determining factor. We ought to be more concerned about removing wrong thoughts from the mind than removing tumors and abscesses from the body.
Epictetus
You may fetter my leg, but Zeus himself cannot get the better of my free will.
Epictetus
Men are not worried by things, but by their ideas about things. When we meet with difficulties, become anxious or troubled, let us not blame others, but rather ourselves. That is: our ideas about things.
Epictetus
Unless we place our religion and our treasure in the same thing, religion will always be sacrificed.
Epictetus
We all carry the seeds of greatness within us, but we need an image as a point of focus in order that they may sprout.
Epictetus
What is death? A scary mask. Take it off-see, it doesn't bite.
Epictetus
If a man is unhappy, remember that his unhappiness is his own fault, for God made all men to be happy.
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
It is not my place in society that makes me well off, but my judgements, and these I can carry with me... These alone are my own and cannot be taken away.
Epictetus
There is only one thing for which God has sent me into the world, and that is to develop every kind of virtue or strength, and there is nothing in all the world that I cannot use for this purpose.
Epictetus
You have been given your own work to do. Get to it right now, do your best at it, and don't be concerned with who is watching you. Create your own merit.
Epictetus
Although we can't control which roles are assigned to us, it must be our business to act our given role as best we possibly can and to refrain from complaining about it. Where ever you find yourself and in whatever circumstances, give an impeccable performance.
Epictetus
If you wish to write, write.
Epictetus
Freedom and happiness are won by disregarding things that lie beyond our control.
Epictetus
Never depend on the admiration of others for self-satisfaction. It is a fact of life that other people, even people who love you, will not necessarily agree with your ideas, understand you always, or share your enthusiasms.
Epictetus
Whenever you are angry, be assured that it is not only a present evil, but that you have increased a habit.
Epictetus
