More quotes by Epictetus
I am not eternity, but a man a part of the whole, as an hour is of the day.
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
When something happens, the only thing in your power is your attitude toward it. It is not the things that disturb us, but our interpretation of their significance. Things and people are not what we wish them to be nor are they what they seem to be. They are what they are.
Epictetus
Keep your attention focused entirely on what is truly your own concern, and be clear that what belongs to others is their business and none of yours.
Epictetus
He is free who lives as he wishes to live who is neither subject to compulsion nor to hindrance, nor to force whose movements to action are not impeded, whose desires attain their purpose, and who does not fall into that which he would avoid.
Epictetus
The Beginning of Philosophy is a Consciousness of your own Weakness and inability in necessary things.
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 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.
Epictetus
Man is troubled not by events, but by the meaning he gives them.
Epictetus
Freedom is the only worthy goal in life. It is won by disregarding things that lie beyond our control. Stop aspiring to be anyone other than your own best self: for that does fall within your control.
Epictetus
It is hard to combine and unite these two qualities, the carefulness of one who is affected by circumstances, and the intrepidity of one who heeds them not. But it is not impossible: else were happiness also impossible.
Epictetus
Bid a singer in a chorus, Know Thyself and will he not turn for the knowledge to the others, his fellows in the chorus, and to his harmony with them?
Epictetus
Silence is safer than speech.
Epictetus
Bear in mind that you should conduct yourself in life as at a feast.
Epictetus
If you do not wish to be prone to anger, do not feed the habit give it nothing which may tend to its increase.
Epictetus
Unremarkable lives are marked by the fear of not looking capable when trying something new.
Epictetus
Fortify yourself with contentment, for this is an impregnable fortress.
Epictetus
Your master is he who controls that on which you have set your heart or wish to avoid.
Epictetus
Everything has two handles,-one by which it may be borne another by which it cannot.
Epictetus
He who laughs at himself never runs out of things to laugh at.
Epictetus
