Epictetus
Against specious appearances we must set clear convictions, bright and ready for use. When death appears as an evil, we ought immediately to remember that evils are things to be avoided, but death is inevitable.
Epictetus
Confidence in nonsense is a requirement for the creative process.
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
If a man is unhappy, remember that his unhappiness is his own fault, for God made all men to be happy.
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
No man is free who is not master of himself.
Epictetus
Neither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.
Epictetus
First tell yourself what you want to be, then do what you need to do.
