Covetousness like jealousy, when it has taken root, never leaves a person, but with their life. Cowardice is the dread of what will happen.

More quotes by Epictetus
Renew every day your conversation with God: Do this even in preference to eating. Think more often of God than you breathe.
Epictetus
Be careful whom you associate with. It is human to imitate the habits of those with whom we interact. We inadvertently adopt their interests, their opinions, their values, and their habit of interpreting events.
Epictetus
What is a child? Ignorance. What is a child? Want of instruction.
Epictetus
It takes more than just a good looking body. You've got to have the heart and soul to go with it.
Epictetus
What disturbs people's minds are not events but their judgments on events.
Epictetus
Nothing truly stops you. Nothing truly holds you back. For your own will is always within your control.
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
A soul that makes virtue its companion is like an over-flowing well, for it is clean and pellucid, sweet and wholesome, open to all, rich, blameless and indestructible.
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
Pleasure, like a kind of bait, is thrown before everything which is really bad, and easily allures greedy souls to the hook of perdition.
Epictetus
It is not things in themselves which trouble us, but our opinions of things.
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
Things true and evident must of necessity be recognized by those who would contradict them.
Epictetus
When you have decided that a thing ought to be done and are doing it, never avoid bein seen doing it, though many shall form an unfavorable opinion about it. For if it is not right to do it, avoid doing the thing but if it is right, why are you afraid of those who shall find fault wrongly?
Epictetus
God has entrusted me with myself.
Epictetus
If you wish to be a writer, write.
Epictetus
Any person capable of angering you becomes your master he can anger you only when you permit yourself to be disturbed by him.
Epictetus
When something happens, the only thing in your power is your attitude toward it. It is not the things that disturb us, but our interpretation of their significance. Things and people are not what we wish them to be nor are they what they seem to be. They are what they are.
Epictetus
Neither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.
Epictetus
The universe is but one great city, full of beloved ones, divine and human, by nature endeared to each other.
Epictetus
