More quotes by Epictetus
Things true and evident must of necessity be recognized by those who would contradict them.
Epictetus
Ask yourself: Does this appearance (of events) concern the things that are within my own control or those that are not? If it concerns anything outside your control, train yourself not to worry about it.
Epictetus
It were no slight attainment could we merely fulfil what the nature of man implies.
Epictetus
As it is pleasant to see the sea from the land, so it is pleasant for him who has escaped from troubles to think of them.
Epictetus
He is a drunkard who takes more than three glasses though he be not drunk.
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
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
If you would improve, submit to be considered wihout sense and foolish with respect to externals. Wish to be considered to know nothing and if you shall seem to someone to be a person of importance, distrust yourself.
Epictetus
What thou avoidest suffering thyself seek not to impose on others.
Epictetus
Practice yourself, for heaven's sake, in little things, and thence proceed to greater.
Epictetus
I have to die. If it is now, well then I die now if later, then now I will take my lunch, since the hour for lunch has arrived - and dying I will tend to later.
Epictetus
Unless we place our religion and our treasure in the same thing, religion will always be sacrificed.
Epictetus
It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows.
Epictetus
A half-hearted spirit has no power. Tentative efforts lead to tentative outcomes. Average people enter into their endeavors headlong and without care.
Epictetus
When we name things correctly, we comprehend them correctly, without adding information or judgements that aren't there. Does someone bathe quickly? Don't say be bathes poorly, but quickly. Name the situation as it is, don't filter it through your judgments. Give your assent only to that which is actually true.
Epictetus
On the occasion of every accident that befalls you, remember to turn to yourself and inquire what power you have for turning it to use.
Epictetus
Learn to distinguish what you can and can't control. Within our control are our own opinions, aspirations, desires and the things that repel us. They are directly subject to our influence.
Epictetus
If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.
Epictetus
Everything has two handles,-one by which it may be borne another by which it cannot.
Epictetus
Truth is a thing immortal and perpetual, and it gives to us a beauty that fades not away in time, nor does it take away the freedom of speech which proceeds from justice but it gives to us the knowledge of what is just and lawful, separating from them the unjust and refuting them.
Epictetus
