More quotes by Epictetus
Any one thing in the creation is sufficient to demonstrate a Providence to a humble and grateful mind.
Epictetus
Never in any case say I have lost such a thing, but I have returned it. Is your child dead? It is a return. Is your wife dead? It is a return. Are you deprived of your estate? Is not this also a return?
Epictetus
No living being is held by anything so strongly as by its own needs. Whatever therefore appears a hindrance to these, be it brother, or father, or child, or mistress, or friend, is hated, abhorred, execrated.
Epictetus
Man is not fully free unless he is master of himself.
Epictetus
Don't be prideful with any excellence that is not your own
Epictetus
The materials are indifferent, but the use we make of them is not a matter of indifference.
Epictetus
Every place is safe to him who lives with justice.
Epictetus
Nothing truly stops you. Nothing truly holds you back. For your own will is always within your control.
Epictetus
It is not my place in society that makes me well off, but my judgements, and these I can carry with me... These alone are my own and cannot be taken away.
Epictetus
With ills unending strives the putter off.
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
An ignorant person is inclined to blame others for his own misfortune. To blame oneself is proof of progress. But the wise man never has to blame another or himself.
Epictetus
If you seek Truth, you will not seek to gain a victory by every possible means and when you have found Truth, you need not fear being defeated.
Epictetus
It is the nature of the wise to resist pleasures, but the foolish to be a slave to them.
Epictetus
The essence of philosophy is that a man should so live that his happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things.
Epictetus
When something happens, the only thing in your power is your attitude toward it you can either accept it or resent it.
Epictetus
Men are not worried by things, but by their ideas about things. When we meet with difficulties, become anxious or troubled, let us not blame others, but rather ourselves. That is: our ideas about things.
Epictetus
It is better to die of hunger having lived without grief and fear, than to live with a troubled spirit, amid abundance
Epictetus
Act your part with honor.
Epictetus
No man is able to make progress when he is wavering between opposite things.
Epictetus
