More quotes by Epictetus
Any one thing in the creation is sufficient to demonstrate a Providence to a humble and grateful mind.
Epictetus
God has entrusted me with myself.
Epictetus
Wish that everything should come about just as it does.
Epictetus
Dare to look up to God and say, Deal with me in the future as Thou wilt I am of the same mind as Thou art I am Thine I refuse nothing that pleases Thee lead me where Thou wilt clothe me in any dress Thou choosest.
Epictetus
If your heart is quite set upon a crown, make and put on one of roses, for it will make the prettier appearance.
Epictetus
Covetousness like jealousy, when it has taken root, never leaves a person, but with their life. Cowardice is the dread of what will happen.
Epictetus
Every place is safe to him who lives with justice.
Epictetus
Never say of anything I have lost it, only say that I have given it back.
Epictetus
Truth is a thing immortal and perpetual, and it gives to us a beauty that fades not away in time, nor does it take away the freedom of speech which proceeds from justice but it gives to us the knowledge of what is just and lawful, separating from them the unjust and refuting them.
Epictetus
Try not to react merely in the moment. Pull back from the situation. Take a wider view. Compose yourself.
Epictetus
Whoever does not regard what he has as most ample wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world.
Epictetus
At this time is freedom anything but the right to live as we wish? Nothing else.
Epictetus
If you have anything better to be doing when death overtakes you, get to work on that.
Epictetus
Why, do you not know, then, that the origin of all human evils, and of baseness, and cowardice, is not death, but rather the fear of death?
Epictetus
Progress is not achieved by luck or accident, but by working on yourself daily.
Epictetus
Since it is Reason which shapes and regulates all other things, it ought not itself to be left in disorder.
Epictetus
No greater thing is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.
Epictetus
Whatever you would make habitual, practice it and if you would not make a thing habitual, do not practice it, but accustom yourself to something else.
Epictetus
When we name things correctly, we comprehend them correctly, without adding information or judgements that aren't there. Does someone bathe quickly? Don't say be bathes poorly, but quickly. Name the situation as it is, don't filter it through your judgments. Give your assent only to that which is actually true.
Epictetus
Not things, but opinions about things, trouble men.
Epictetus
