More quotes by Epictetus
If what the philosophers say be true, that all men's actions proceed from one source that as they assent from a persuasion that a thing is so, and dissent from a persuasion that it is not, and suspend their judgment from a persuasion that it is uncertain, so likewise they seek a thing from a persuasion that it is for their advantage.
Epictetus
What thou avoidest suffering thyself seek not to impose on others.
Epictetus
Whoever wants to be free, therefore, let him not want or avoid anything that is up to others. Otherwise he will necessarily be a slave.
Epictetus
Give yourself fully to your endeavors. Decide to construct your character through excellent actions and determine to pay the price of a worthy goal. The trials you encounter will introduce you to your strengths.
Epictetus
It is not the events but our viewpoint toward events that is the determining factor. We ought to be more concerned about removing wrong thoughts from the mind than removing tumors and abscesses from the body.
Epictetus
Wish that everything should come about just as it does.
Epictetus
I am not eternity, but a man a part of the whole, as an hour is of the day.
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
To live a life of virtue, match up your thoughts, words, and deeds.
Epictetus
The origin of sorrow is this: to wish for something that does not come to pass.
Epictetus
No man is able to make progress when he is wavering between opposite things.
Epictetus
We must be afraid of neither poverty nor exile nor imprisonment of fear itself only should we be afraid.
Epictetus
It is my business, to manage carefully and dexterously whatever happens
Epictetus
Bear in mind that you should conduct yourself in life as at a feast.
Epictetus
No man is free who is not master of himself... Is freedom anything else than the power of living as we choose?
Epictetus
Difficulty shows what men are.
Epictetus
It is hard to combine and unite these two qualities, the carefulness of one who is affected by circumstances, and the intrepidity of one who heeds them not. But it is not impossible: else were happiness also impossible.
Epictetus
It is the sign of a dull mind to dwell upon the cares of the body, to prolong exercise, eating and drinking and other bodily functions. These things are best done by the way all your attention must be given to the mind.
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
When one maintains his proper attitude in life, he does not long after externals.
Epictetus
