Epictetus
Asked, Who is the rich man? Epictetus replied, �He who is content.
Epictetus
Some things are up to us [eph' hêmin] and some things are not up to us. Our opinions are up to us, and our impulses, desires, aversions–in short, whatever is our own doing. Our bodies are not up to us, nor are our possessions, our reputations, or our public offices, or, that is, whatever is not our own 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
Shall I show you the sinews of a philosopher? What sinews are those? - A will undisappointed evils avoided powers daily exercised careful resolutions unerring decisions.
Epictetus
To live a life of virtue, you have to become consistent, even when it isn't convenient, comfortable, or easy.
Epictetus
Unless we place our religion and our treasure in the same thing, religion will always be sacrificed.
Epictetus
