More quotes by Epictetus
The essence of philosophy is that a man should so live that his happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things.
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
I have to die. If it is now, well then I die now if later, then now I will take my lunch, since the hour for lunch has arrived - and dying I will tend to later.
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
I must die. Must I then die lamenting? I must be put in chains. Must I then also lament? I must go into exile. Does any man then hinder me from going with smiles and cheerfulness and contentment?
Epictetus
Think of God oftener than you breathe.

Reason is not measured by size or height, but by principle.
Epictetus
He who exercises wisdom exercises the knowledge which is about God.
Epictetus
When something happens, the only thing in your power is your attitude toward it you can either accept it or resent it.
Epictetus
Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems
Epictetus
The essence of good and evil is a certain disposition of the will.
Epictetus
If you see anybody wail and complain, call him a slave, though he be clad in purple.
Epictetus
God has entrusted me with myself. No man is free who is not master of himself. A man should so live that his happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things. The world turns aside to let any man pass who knows where he is going.
Epictetus
Progress is not achieved by luck or accident, but by working on yourself daily.
Epictetus
There is but one way to tranquility of mind and happiness, and that is to account no external things thine own, but to commit all to God.
Epictetus
