More quotes by Epictetus
A guide, on finding a man who has lost his way, brings him back to the right path—he does not mock and jeer at him and then take himself off. You also must show the unlearned man the truth, and you will see that he will follow. But so long as you do not show it him, you should not mock, but rather feel your own incapacity.
Epictetus
Don't explain your philosophy. Embody it.
Epictetus
As it is pleasant to see the sea from the land, so it is pleasant for him who has escaped from troubles to think of them.
Epictetus
The appearance of things to the mind is the standard of every action to man.
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
Any person capable of angering you becomes your master.
Epictetus
Practice yourself, for heaven's sake, in little things, and thence proceed to greater.
Epictetus
No matter what happens, it is within my power to turn it to my advantage.
Epictetus
It is not the events but our viewpoint toward events that is the determining factor. We ought to be more concerned about removing wrong thoughts from the mind than removing tumors and abscesses from the body.
Epictetus
No man is disturbed by things, but by his opinion about things.
Epictetus
Things true and evident must of necessity be recognized by those who would contradict them.
Epictetus
You ought to choose both physician and friend, not the most agreeable, but the most useful.
Epictetus
The Beginning of Philosophy is a Consciousness of your own Weakness and inability in necessary things.
Epictetus
Neither the victories of the Olympic Games nor those achieved in battles make the man happy. The only victories that make him happy are those achieved against himself. Temptations and tests are combats. You have beaten one, two, many times still fight. If you defeat at last you will be happy your entire life, as if you have always defeated.
Epictetus
What disturbs people's minds are not events but their judgments on events.
Epictetus
There is only one thing for which God has sent me into the world, and that is to develop every kind of virtue or strength, and there is nothing in all the world that I cannot use for this purpose.
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
At this time is freedom anything but the right to live as we wish? Nothing else.
Epictetus
He is a drunkard who takes more than three glasses though he be not drunk.
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
