More quotes by Epictetus
Although we can't control which roles are assigned to us, it must be our business to act our given role as best we possibly can and to refrain from complaining about it. Where ever you find yourself and in whatever circumstances, give an impeccable performance.
Epictetus
The essence of good and evil is a certain disposition of the will.
Epictetus
If thou rememberest that God standeth by to behold and visit all that thou doest whether in the body or in the soul, thou surely wilt not err in any prayer or deed and thou shalt have God to dwell with thee.
Epictetus
Neither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.
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
No matter what happens, it is within my power to turn it to my advantage.
Epictetus
If virtue promises happiness, prosperity and peace, then progress in virtue is progress in each of these for to whatever point the perfection of anything brings us, progress is always an approach toward it.
Epictetus
These are the signs of a wise man: to reprove nobody, to praise nobody, to blame nobody, nor even to speak of himself or his own merits.
Epictetus
It’s time to stop being vague. If you wish to be an extraordinary person, if you wish to be wise, then you should explicitly identify the kind of person you aspire to become.
Epictetus
If you seek Truth, you will not seek to gain a victory by every possible means and when you have found Truth, you need not fear being defeated.
Epictetus
With ills unending strives the putter off.
Epictetus
All religions must be tolerated for every man must get to heaven in his own way.
Epictetus
Seek to be the purple thread in the long white gown.
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
A man that seeks truth and loves it must be reckoned precious to any human society.
Epictetus
Do not laugh much or often or unrestrainedly.
Epictetus
What is death? A scary mask. Take it off-see, it doesn't bite.
Epictetus
At this time is freedom anything but the right to live as we wish? Nothing else.
Epictetus
Survey and test a prospective action before undertaking it. Before you proceed, step back and look at the big picture, lest you act rashly on raw impulse.
Epictetus
When you have decided that a thing ought to be done and are doing it, never avoid bein seen doing it, though many shall form an unfavorable opinion about it. For if it is not right to do it, avoid doing the thing but if it is right, why are you afraid of those who shall find fault wrongly?
Epictetus
