More quotes by Epictetus
Neither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.
Epictetus
Do not so much be ashamed of that disgrace which proceeds from men's opinion as fly from that which comes from the truth.
Epictetus
Make it your business to draw out the best in others by being an exemplar yourself.
Epictetus
Every difficulty in life presents us with an opportunity to turn inward and to invoke our own submerged inner resources. The trials we endure can and should introduce us to our strengths.
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
The origin of sorrow is this: to wish for something that does not come to pass.
Epictetus
Any person capable of angering you becomes your master.
Epictetus
If we are not stupid or insincere when we say that the good or ill of man lies within his own will, and that all beside is nothing to us, why are we still troubled?
Epictetus
Act your part with honor.
Epictetus
It is my business, to manage carefully and dexterously whatever happens
Epictetus
Let thy speech of God be renewed day by day, aye, rather than thy meat and drink.
Epictetus
It is unlikely that the good of a snail should reside in its shell: so is it likely that the good of a man should?
Epictetus
When you let go of your attention for a little while, do not think you may recover it whenever you please.
Epictetus
What hurts this person is not the occurrence itself, for another person might not feel oppressed by this situation at all. What is hurting this person is the response he or she has uncritically adopted. It is not a demonstration of kindness or friendship to the people we care about to join them in indulging in wrongheaded, negative feelings.
Epictetus
Man is troubled not by events, but by the meaning he gives them.
Epictetus
Don't be concerned with other people's impressions of you. They are dazzled and deluded by appearances. Stick with your purpose. This alone will strengthen your will and give your life coherence.
Epictetus
No man is free who is not master of himself... Is freedom anything else than the power of living as we choose?
Epictetus
No man is free who is not master of himself.
Epictetus
You ought to choose both physician and friend, not the most agreeable, but the most useful.
Epictetus
And have you not received faculties which will enable you to bear all that happens to you? Have you not received greatness of spirit? Have you not received courage? Have you not received endurance?
Epictetus
