More quotes by Epictetus
People are not disturbed by things, but by the view they take of them.
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
Focus not on what he or she does, but on keeping to your higher purpose. Your own purpose should seek harmony with nature itself. For this is the true road to freedom.
Epictetus
We should not have either a blunt knife or a freedom of speech which is ill-managed.
Epictetus
As you think, so you become.....Our busy minds are forever jumping to conclusions, manufacturing and interpreting signs that aren't there.
Epictetus
Seek to be the purple thread in the long white gown.
Epictetus
If you do not wish to be prone to anger, do not feed the habit give it nothing which may tend to its increase.
Epictetus
If what the philosophers say be true, that all men's actions proceed from one source that as they assent from a persuasion that a thing is so, and dissent from a persuasion that it is not, and suspend their judgment from a persuasion that it is uncertain, so likewise they seek a thing from a persuasion that it is for their advantage.
Epictetus
Your master is he who controls that on which you have set your heart or wish to avoid.
Epictetus
It were no slight attainment could we merely fulfil what the nature of man implies.
Epictetus
Exceed due measure, and the most delightful things become the least delightful.
Epictetus
It is not he who reviles or strikes you who insults you, but your opinion that these things are insulting.
Epictetus
Think of God oftener than you breathe.
Epictetus
Within our control are our own opinions, aspirations, and desires and the demons that distract us from these goals. Outside of our control are such things as what kind of body we have, whether or not we are born into wealth, and how we are regarded by others.
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
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
Other people's views and troubles can be contagious. Don't sabotage yourself by unwittingly adopting negative, unproductive attitudes through your associations with others.
Epictetus
Every difficulty in life presents us with an opportunity to turn inward and to invoke our own submerged inner resources. The trials we endure can and should introduce us to our strengths.
Epictetus
What is death? A scary mask. Take it off-see, it doesn't bite.
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
