More quotes by Epictetus
These are the signs of a wise man: to reprove nobody, to praise nobody, to blame nobody, nor even to speak of himself or his own merits.
Epictetus
If you wish to be good, first believe that you are bad.
Epictetus
What is yours is to play the assigned part well. But to choose it belongs to someone else
Epictetus
I laugh at those who think they can damage me. They do not know who I am, they do not know what I think, they cannot even touch the things which are really mine and with which I live.
Epictetus
Covetousness like jealousy, when it has taken root, never leaves a person, but with their life. Cowardice is the dread of what will happen.
Epictetus
We should do everything both cautiously and confidently at the same time.
Epictetus
I have to die. If it is now, well then I die now if later, then now I will take my lunch, since the hour for lunch has arrived - and dying I will tend to later.
Epictetus
Were I a nightingale, I would act the part of a nightingale were I a swan, the part of a swan.
Epictetus
What hurts this person is not the occurrence itself, for another person might not feel oppressed by this situation at all. What is hurting this person is the response he or she has uncritically adopted. It is not a demonstration of kindness or friendship to the people we care about to join them in indulging in wrongheaded, negative feelings.
Epictetus
As you think, so you become.....Our busy minds are forever jumping to conclusions, manufacturing and interpreting signs that aren't there.
Epictetus
Shall I show you the sinews of a philosopher? What sinews are those? - A will undisappointed evils avoided powers daily exercised careful resolutions unerring decisions.
Epictetus
Since it is Reason which shapes and regulates all other things, it ought not itself to be left in disorder.
Epictetus
It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows.
Epictetus
The appearance of things to the mind is the standard of every action to man.
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
As it is pleasant to see the sea from the land, so it is pleasant for him who has escaped from troubles to think of them.
Epictetus
Don't be concerned with other people's impressions of you. They are dazzled and deluded by appearances. Stick with your purpose. This alone will strengthen your will and give your life coherence.
Epictetus
When one maintains his proper attitude in life, he does not long after externals.
Epictetus
He who laughs at himself never runs out of things to laugh at.
Epictetus
As a man, casting off worn out garments taketh new ones, so the dweller in the body, entereth into ones that are new.
Epictetus
