More quotes by Epictetus
As in walking it is your great care not to run your foot upon a nail, or to tread awry, and strain your leg so let it be in all the affairs of human life, not to hurt your mind or offend your judgment. And this rule, if observed carefully in all your deportment, will be a mighty security to you in your undertakings.
Epictetus
It is the part of an uneducated person to blame others where he himself fares ill to blame himself is the part of one whose education has begun to blame neither another nor his own self is the part of one whose education is already complete.
Epictetus
We should not have either a blunt knife or a freedom of speech which is ill-managed.
Epictetus
Although we can't control which roles are assigned to us, it must be our business to act our given role as best we possibly can and to refrain from complaining about it. Where ever you find yourself and in whatever circumstances, give an impeccable performance.
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

Epictetus
We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them.
Epictetus

Epictetus
Every place is safe to him who lives with justice.
Epictetus
If virtue promises happiness, prosperity and peace, then progress in virtue is progress in each of these for to whatever point the perfection of anything brings us, progress is always an approach toward it.
Epictetus
When a youth was giving himself airs in the Theatre and saying, 'I am wise, for I have conversed with many wise men,' Epictetus replied, 'I too have conversed with many rich men, yet I am not rich!’.
Epictetus
No matter where you find yourself, comport yourself as if you were a distinguished person.
Epictetus
If anyone should tell you that a particular person has spoken critically of you, don't bother with excuses or defenses. Just smile and reply, I guess that person doesn't know about all my other faults. Otherwise, he wouldn't have mentioned only these.
Epictetus
Whenever you are angry, be assured that it is not only a present evil, but that you have increased a habit.
Epictetus
He who exercises wisdom exercises the knowledge which is about God.
Epictetus
We should do everything both cautiously and confidently at the same time.
Epictetus
