More quotes by Epictetus
Your master is he who controls that on which you have set your heart or wish to avoid.
Epictetus
Act well your given part the choice rests not with you.
Epictetus
If you seek truth you will not seek victory by dishonorable means, and if you find truth you will become invincible.
Epictetus
Nothing truly stops you. Nothing truly holds you back. For your own will is always within your control.
Epictetus
Ask yourself: Does this appearance (of events) concern the things that are within my own control or those that are not? If it concerns anything outside your control, train yourself not to worry about it.
Epictetus
Freedom isn't the right or ability to do whatever you please. Freedom comes from understanding the limits of our own power and the inherent limits set in place by nature. By accepting life's limits and inevitabilities and working with them rather than fighting them, you become truly free.
Epictetus
All philosophy lies in two words, sustain and abstain.
Epictetus

Epictetus

Epictetus
As you think, so you become.....Our busy minds are forever jumping to conclusions, manufacturing and interpreting signs that aren't there.
Epictetus
It is a mark of a mean capacity to spend much time on the things which concern the body, such as much exercise, much eating, much drinking, much easing of the body, much copulation. But these things should be done as subordinate things: and let all your care be directed to the mind.
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
No man is able to make progress when he is wavering between opposite things.
Epictetus
When you let go of your attention for a little while, do not think you may recover it whenever you please.
Epictetus
Envy is the antagonist of the fortunate.
Epictetus
Reason is not measured by size or height, but by principle.
Epictetus
Have the wisdom to know what cannot be changed, and the strength to change what can.
Epictetus
