More quotes by Epictetus
When we blather about trivial things, we ourselves become trivial, for our attention gets taken up with trivialities. You become what you give your attention to.
Epictetus
Think of God oftener than you breathe.
Epictetus
Do not so much be ashamed of that disgrace which proceeds from men's opinion as fly from that which comes from the truth.
Epictetus
If we are not stupid or insincere when we say that the good or ill of man lies within his own will, and that all beside is nothing to us, why are we still troubled?
Epictetus
As in walking it is your great care not to run your foot upon a nail, or to tread awry, and strain your leg so let it be in all the affairs of human life, not to hurt your mind or offend your judgment. And this rule, if observed carefully in all your deportment, will be a mighty security to you in your undertakings.
Epictetus
If you wish to be good, first believe that you are bad.
Epictetus
Things themselves don't hurt or hinder us. Things simply are what they are. How we view these things is another matter.People think what they will think it is of no concern to us.
Epictetus
Wish that everything should come about just as it does.
Epictetus
By accepting life's limits and inevitabilities and working with them rather than fighting them, we become free.
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
Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.
Epictetus
If you seek Truth, you will not seek to gain a victory by every possible means and when you have found Truth, you need not fear being defeated.
Epictetus
What hurts this person is not the occurrence itself, for another person might not feel oppressed by this situation at all. What is hurting this person is the response he or she has uncritically adopted. It is not a demonstration of kindness or friendship to the people we care about to join them in indulging in wrongheaded, negative feelings.
Epictetus
We can't control the impressions others form about us, and the effort to do so only debases our character.
Epictetus
No matter what happens, it is within my power to turn it to my advantage.
Epictetus
When a youth was giving himself airs in the Theatre and saying, 'I am wise, for I have conversed with many wise men,' Epictetus replied, 'I too have conversed with many rich men, yet I am not rich!’.
Epictetus
Seek not good from without seek it within yourselves, or you will never find it.
Epictetus
I am not eternity, but a man a part of the whole, as an hour is of the day.
Epictetus
People are not disturbed by things, but by the view they take of them.
Epictetus
Have the wisdom to know what cannot be changed, and the strength to change what can.
Epictetus
