Not things, but opinions about things, trouble men.
Epictetus
Men are not afraid of things, but of how they view them.
Epictetus
As it is pleasant to see the sea from the land, so it is pleasant for him who has escaped from troubles to think of them.
Epictetus
You are but an appearance, and not absolutely the thing you appear to be.
Epictetus
No living being is held by anything so strongly as its own needs.
Epictetus
Let thy speech of God be renewed day by day, aye, rather than thy meat and drink.
Epictetus
What disturbs and alarms man are not the things, but his opinions and fancies about the things.
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
Survey and test a prospective action before undertaking it. Before you proceed, step back and look at the big picture, lest you act rashly on raw impulse.
Epictetus
