Epictetus

Epictetus
The best place to get help is from yourself.

Epictetus
The essence of good and evil is a certain disposition of the will.
Epictetus
Choose the life that is noblest, for custom can make it sweet to thee.
Epictetus
It’s time to stop being vague. If you wish to be an extraordinary person, if you wish to be wise, then you should explicitly identify the kind of person you aspire to become.
Epictetus
Of pleasures, those which occur most rarely give the most delight.
Epictetus
The universe is but one great city, full of beloved ones, divine and human, by nature endeared to each other.
Epictetus
Here is the beginning of philosophy: a recognition of the conflicts between men, a search for their cause, a condemnation of mere opinion .. . and the discovery of a standard of judgement.
Epictetus
Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.
Epictetus
No man is free who is not master of himself... Is freedom anything else than the power of living as we choose?
Epictetus
Man is not fully free unless he is master of himself.
Epictetus
