Epictetus
Our duties naturally emerge form such fundamental relations as our families, neighborhoods, workplaces, our state or nation.

Once you know who you are and to whom you are linked, you will know what to do.
Epictetus
To know that you do not know and to be willing to admit that you do not know without sheepishly apologizing is real strength and sets the stage for learning and progress in any endeavor.
Epictetus
-….when things seem to have reached that stage, merely say “I won’t play any longer”, and take your departure but if you stay, stop lamenting.
Epictetus
Don't be prideful with any excellence that is not your own
Epictetus
Reason is not measured by size or height, but by principle.
Epictetus
Wherever any one is against his will, that is to him a prison.
Epictetus
Happiness is an equivalent for all troublesome things.
Epictetus
No man is free who is not master of himself.
Epictetus
When you close your doors, and make darkness within, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not alone nay, God is within, and your genius is within. And what need have they of light to see what you are doing?
Epictetus
As you think, so you become.....Our busy minds are forever jumping to conclusions, manufacturing and interpreting signs that aren't there.
Epictetus
