More quotes by Epictetus
Give yourself fully to your endeavors. Decide to construct your character through excellent actions and determine to pay the price of a worthy goal. The trials you encounter will introduce you to your strengths.
Epictetus
What hurts this person is not the occurrence itself, for another person might not feel oppressed by this situation at all.

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
Neither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.
