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

You may fetter my leg, but Zeus himself cannot get the better of my free will.
Epictetus
Image
There is nothing good or evil save in the will.
Epictetus
Image
When we name things correctly, we comprehend them correctly, without adding information or judgements that aren't there. Does someone bathe quickly? Don't say be bathes poorly, but quickly. Name the situation as it is, don't filter it through your judgments. Give your assent only to that which is actually true.
Epictetus
Image
When you let go of your attention for a little while, do not think you may recover it whenever you please.
Epictetus
Image
If you see anybody wail and complain, call him a slave, though he be clad in purple.
Epictetus
Image
Practice yourself, for heaven's sake, in little things, and thence proceed to greater.
Epictetus
Image
To a reasonable creature, that alone is insupportable which is unreasonable but everything reasonable may be supported.
Epictetus
