Wherever I go it will be well with me, for it was well with me here, not on account of the place, but of my judgments which I shall carry away with me, for no one can deprive me of these on the contrary, they alone are my property, and cannot be taken away, and to possess them suffices me wherever I am or whatever I do.

Epictetus
If you would be well spoken of, learn to be well-spoken and having learnt to be well- spoken, strive also to be well-doing so shall you succeed in being well spoken of.
Epictetus
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
Don't be concerned with other people's impressions of you. They are dazzled and deluded by appearances. Stick with your purpose. This alone will strengthen your will and give your life coherence.
Epictetus
It is the sign of a dull mind to dwell upon the cares of the body, to prolong exercise, eating and drinking and other bodily functions. These things are best done by the way all your attention must be given to the mind.
Epictetus
Neither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.
Epictetus
A thing either is what it appears to be or it is not, but yet appears to be or it is, but does not appear to be or it is not, and does not appear to be.
Epictetus
Pain or pleasure? I say pleasure.
Epictetus
It has been ordained that there be summer and winter, abundance and dearth, virtue and vice, and all such opposites for the harmony of the whole, and (Zeus) has given each of us a body, property, and companions.
