More quotes by Epictetus
What is death? A scary mask. Take it off-see, it doesn't bite.
Epictetus
The origin of sorrow is this: to wish for something that does not come to pass.
Epictetus
It is unlikely that the good of a snail should reside in its shell: so is it likely that the good of a man should?
Epictetus
As you think, so you become.....Our busy minds are forever jumping to conclusions, manufacturing and interpreting signs that aren't there.
Epictetus
To live a life of virtue, you have to become consistent, even when it isn't convenient, comfortable, or easy.
Epictetus
What is learned without pleasure is forgotten without remorse.
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
Wherever any one is against his will, that is to him a prison.
Epictetus
There are some things which men confess with ease, and others with difficulty.
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
We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them.
Epictetus
No man is able to make progress when he is wavering between opposite things.
Epictetus
Since it is Reason which shapes and regulates all other things, it ought not itself to be left in disorder.
Epictetus
Confidence in nonsense is a requirement for the creative process.
Epictetus
Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.
Epictetus
What concerns me is not the way things are, but rather the way people think things are.
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
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
What is it to be a philosopher? Is it not to be prepared against events?
Epictetus
Neither the victories of the Olympic Games nor those achieved in battles make the man happy. The only victories that make him happy are those achieved against himself. Temptations and tests are combats. You have beaten one, two, many times still fight. If you defeat at last you will be happy your entire life, as if you have always defeated.
Epictetus
