Epictetus

Epictetus
Wherever I go it will be well with me, for it was well with me here, not on account of the place, but of my judgments which I shall carry away with me, for no one can deprive me of these on the contrary, they alone are my property, and cannot be taken away, and to possess them suffices me wherever I am or whatever I do.
Epictetus

Epictetus

Epictetus
What hurts this person is not the occurrence itself, for another person might not feel oppressed by this situation at all. What is hurting this person is the response he or she has uncritically adopted. It is not a demonstration of kindness or friendship to the people we care about to join them in indulging in wrongheaded, negative feelings.
Epictetus
If someone irritates you, it is only your own response that is irritating you. Therefore, when anyone seems to be provoking you, remember that it is only your judgment of the incident that provokes you. -
Epictetus
You may fetter my leg, but Zeus himself cannot get the better of my free will.
Epictetus

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
There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
Epictetus
We all carry the seeds of greatness within us, but we need an image as a point of focus in order that they may sprout.
Epictetus
Any person capable of angering you becomes your master.
Epictetus
Men are disturbed not by the things that happen, but by their opinion of the things that happen.
Epictetus
It is wicked to withdraw from being useful to the needy, and cowardly to give way to the worthless.
Epictetus
Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever are our own actions. Things not in our control are body, property, reputation, command, and, in one word, whatever are not our own actions.
Epictetus
