More quotes by Epictetus
Confidence in nonsense is a requirement for the creative process.
Epictetus
When you have decided that a thing ought to be done and are doing it, never avoid bein seen doing it, though many shall form an unfavorable opinion about it. For if it is not right to do it, avoid doing the thing but if it is right, why are you afraid of those who shall find fault wrongly?
Epictetus
Contentment, as it is a short road and pleasant, has great delight and little trouble.
Epictetus
Whatever you would make habitual, practice it and if you would not make a thing habitual, do not practice it, but accustom yourself to something else.
Epictetus
No matter what happens, it is within my power to turn it to my advantage.
Epictetus
Wish that everything should come about just as it does.
Epictetus
Never call yourself a philosopher, nor talk a great deal among the unlearned about theorems, but act conformably to them. Thus, at an entertainment, don't talk how persons ought to eat, but eat as you ought. For remember that in this manner Socrates also universally avoided all ostentation.
Epictetus
I am not eternity, but a man a part of the whole, as an hour is of the day.
Epictetus
It is not events that disturb the minds of men, but the view they take of them.
Epictetus
You may be always victorious if you will never enter into any contest where the issue does not wholly depend upon yourself.
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
Men are not afraid of things, but of how they view them.
Epictetus
If thou rememberest that God standeth by to behold and visit all that thou doest whether in the body or in the soul, thou surely wilt not err in any prayer or deed and thou shalt have God to dwell with thee.
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
If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.
Epictetus
Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.
Epictetus
We all carry the seeds of greatness within us, but we need an image as a point of focus in order that they may sprout.
Epictetus
Imagine for yourself a character, a model personality, whose example you determine to follow, in private as well as in public.
Epictetus
All religions must be tolerated for every man must get to heaven in his own way.
Epictetus
Within our control are our own opinions, aspirations, and desires and the demons that distract us from these goals. Outside of our control are such things as what kind of body we have, whether or not we are born into wealth, and how we are regarded by others.
Epictetus
