It is your own convictions which compels you that is, choice compels choice.
Epictetus
Image
Whatever you would make habitual, practice it and if you would not make a thing habitual, do not practice it, but accustom yourself to something else.
Epictetus
Image
You lose only the things you have
Epictetus

Men are not troubled by things themselves, but by their thoughts about them
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
Image
We all dread a bodily paralysis, and would make use of every contrivance to avoid it but none of us is troubled about a paralysis of the soul.

Image
Every place is safe to him who lives with justice.
Epictetus
Image
By accepting life's limits and inevitabilities and working with them rather than fighting them, we become free.
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
Image
You may be always victorious if you will never enter into any contest where the issue does not wholly depend upon yourself.
Epictetus

To a reasonable creature, that alone is insupportable which is unreasonable but everything reasonable may be supported.
Epictetus
Image
Ask yourself: Does this appearance (of events) concern the things that are within my own control or those that are not? If it concerns anything outside your control, train yourself not to worry about it.
Epictetus
Image
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
Image
Silence is safer than speech.
Epictetus
Image
As you think, so you become.....Our busy minds are forever jumping to conclusions, manufacturing and interpreting signs that aren't there.
Epictetus
Image
Bear in mind that you should conduct yourself in life as at a feast.
Epictetus
Image
Freedom is the only worthy goal in life. It is won by disregarding things that lie beyond our control. Stop aspiring to be anyone other than your own best self: for that does fall within your control.
Epictetus
Image
Progress is not achieved by luck or accident, but by working on yourself daily.
Epictetus
Image
It is not my place in society that makes me well off, but my judgements, and these I can carry with me... These alone are my own and cannot be taken away.
Epictetus
