More quotes by Epictetus
Opportunity beckons more surely when misfortune comes upon a person than it ever does when that person is riding the crest of a wave of success. It sharpens a person's wits, if that person will let it, enabling him or her to see more clearly and evaluate situations with a more knowledgeable judgment.
Epictetus
I am not eternity, but a man a part of the whole, as an hour is of the day.
Epictetus
We should not have either a blunt knife or a freedom of speech which is ill-managed.
Epictetus
We should do everything both cautiously and confidently at the same time.
Epictetus
Against specious appearances we must set clear convictions, bright and ready for use. When death appears as an evil, we ought immediately to remember that evils are things to be avoided, but death is inevitable.
Epictetus
Seek not good from without seek it within yourselves, or you will never find it.
Epictetus
Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.
Epictetus
To adorn our characters by the charm of an amiable nature shows at once a lover of beauty and a lover of man.
Epictetus
Happiness is an equivalent for all troublesome things.
Epictetus
Let no man think that he is loved by any who loveth none.
Epictetus
Never in any case say I have lost such a thing, but I have returned it. Is your child dead? It is a return. Is your wife dead? It is a return. Are you deprived of your estate? Is not this also a return?
Epictetus
Unless we place our religion and our treasure in the same thing, religion will always be sacrificed.
Epictetus
If you wish to write, write.
Epictetus
You have been given your own work to do. Get to it right now, do your best at it, and don't be concerned with who is watching you. Create your own merit.
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
Not things, but opinions about things, trouble men.
Epictetus
Appearances to the mind are of four kinds. Things either are what they appear to be or they neither are, nor appear to be or they are, and do not appear to be or they are not, and yet appear to be. Rightly to aim in all these cases is the wise man's task.
Epictetus
Bear in mind that you should conduct yourself in life as at a feast.
Epictetus
An ignorant person is inclined to blame others for his own misfortune. To blame oneself is proof of progress. But the wise man never has to blame another or himself.
Epictetus
Choose the life that is noblest, for custom can make it sweet to thee.
Epictetus
