Epictetus
Image
Survey and test a prospective action before undertaking it. Before you proceed, step back and look at the big picture, lest you act rashly on raw impulse.

A soul that makes virtue its companion is like an over-flowing well, for it is clean and pellucid, sweet and wholesome, open to all, rich, blameless and indestructible.
Epictetus
Image
Give me by all means the shorter and nobler life, instead of one that is longer but of less account!
Epictetus
Image
We can't control the impressions others form about us, and the effort to do so only debases our character.
Epictetus
Image
Nothing truly stops you. Nothing truly holds you back. For your own will is always within your control.
Epictetus
Image
If you would be a reader, read if a writer, write.
Epictetus
Image
It is better to die of hunger having lived without grief and fear, than to live with a troubled spirit, amid abundance
Epictetus
Image
Think of God oftener than you breathe.
Epictetus
Image
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
Image
No matter what happens, it is within my power to turn it to my advantage.
Epictetus
Image
Whenever you are angry, be assured that it is not only a present evil, but that you have increased a habit.
Epictetus
