More quotes by Epictetus
Whenever you are angry, be assured that it is not only a present evil, but that you have increased a habit.
Epictetus
If you would cure anger, do not feed it. Say to yourself: 'I used to be angry every day then every other day now only every third or fourth day.' When you reach thirty days offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the gods.
Epictetus
Happiness and personal fulfillment are the natural consequences of doing the right thing.
Epictetus
Don't explain your philosophy. Embody it.
Epictetus
We can't control the impressions others form about us, and the effort to do so only debases our character.
Epictetus
Every habit and faculty is preserved and increased by correspondent actions, as the habit of walking, by walking of running, by running.
Epictetus
If you seek truth you will not seek victory by dishonorable means, and if you find truth you will become invincible.

We must be afraid of neither poverty nor exile nor imprisonment of fear itself only should we be afraid.
Epictetus
Embrace reality. Think about what delights you - the small luxuries on which you depend, the people whom you cherish most. But remember that they have their own distinct character, which is quite a separate matter from how we happen to regard them.
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
People are not disturbed by things, but by the view they take of them.
Epictetus
What disturbs people's minds are not events but their judgments on events.
Epictetus
Were I a nightingale, I would act the part of a nightingale were I a swan, the part of a swan.
Epictetus
To a reasonable creature, that alone is insupportable which is unreasonable but everything reasonable may be supported.
Epictetus
The pleasure which we most rarely experience gives us greatest delight.
Epictetus
You become what you give your attention to...If you yourself don't choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will, and their motives may not be the highest.
Epictetus
Let silence be your general rule or say only what is necessary and in few words.
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
Reason is not measured by size or height, but by principle.
Epictetus
