More quotes by Epictetus
What disturbs people's minds are not events but their judgments on events.
Epictetus
You can be happy if you know this secret: Some things are within your power to control and some things are not.
Epictetus
When we blather about trivial things, we ourselves become trivial, for our attention gets taken up with trivialities. You become what you give your attention to.
Epictetus
Let silence be your general rule or say only what is necessary and in few words.
Epictetus
If you wish to be a writer, write.
Epictetus
If you desire to be good, begin by believing that you are wicked.
Epictetus
Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.
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
You become what you give your attention to...If you yourself don't choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will, and their motives may not be the highest.
Epictetus
O slavish man! will you not bear with your own brother, who has God for his Father, as being a son from the same stock, and of the same high descent? But if you chance to be placed in some superior station, will you presently set yourself up for a tyrant?
Epictetus
Learn to distinguish what you can and can't control. Within our control are our own opinions, aspirations, desires and the things that repel us. They are directly subject to our influence.
Epictetus
Never say of anything I have lost it, only say that I have given it back.
Epictetus
Don't regard what anyone says of you, for this, after all, is no concern of yours.
Epictetus
Focus not on what he or she does, but on keeping to your higher purpose. Your own purpose should seek harmony with nature itself. For this is the true road to freedom.
Epictetus
If you have anything better to be doing when death overtakes you, get to work on that.
Epictetus
Give yourself fully to your endeavors. Decide to construct your character through excellent actions and determine to pay the price of a worthy goal. The trials you encounter will introduce you to your strengths.
Epictetus
It takes more than just a good looking body. You've got to have the heart and soul to go with it.
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
No man is free who is not master of himself.
Epictetus
Let no man think that he is loved by any who loveth none.
Epictetus
