More quotes by Epictetus

Epictetus

Epictetus

Epictetus
It is not events that disturb the minds of men, but the view they take of them.
Epictetus
Renew every day your conversation with God: Do this even in preference to eating. Think more often of God than you breathe.
Epictetus
Envy is the antagonist of the fortunate.
Epictetus
When you close your doors, and make darkness within, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not alone nay, God is within, and your genius is within. And what need have they of light to see what you are doing?
Epictetus
Any person capable of angering you becomes your master he can anger you only when you permit yourself to be disturbed by him.
Epictetus
Think of God oftener than you breathe.
Epictetus
Living a good life leads to enduring happiness. Goodness in and of itself is the practice AND the reward.
Epictetus
