More quotes by Epictetus
Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.
Epictetus
If you would cure anger, do not feed it. Say to yourself: 'I used to be angry every day then every other day now only every third or fourth day.' When you reach thirty days offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the gods.
Epictetus
Men are not worried by things, but by their ideas about things. When we meet with difficulties, become anxious or troubled, let us not blame others, but rather ourselves. That is: our ideas about things.
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
The cause of all human evils is the not being able to apply general principles to special cases.
Epictetus
Every habit and faculty is preserved and increased by correspondent actions, as the habit of walking, by walking of running, by running.
Epictetus
And have you not received faculties which will enable you to bear all that happens to you? Have you not received greatness of spirit? Have you not received courage? Have you not received endurance?
Epictetus
I am always content with what happens for I know that what God chooses is better than what I choose.
Epictetus
Men are not afraid of things, but of how they view them.
Epictetus
We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them.
Epictetus
Freedom and slavery, the one is the name of virtue, and the other of vice, and both are acts of the will.
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
Never depend on the admiration of others for self-satisfaction. It is a fact of life that other people, even people who love you, will not necessarily agree with your ideas, understand you always, or share your enthusiasms.
Epictetus
No great thing is created suddenly.
Epictetus
Reason is not measured by size or height, but by principle.
Epictetus
If anyone should tell you that a particular person has spoken critically of you, don't bother with excuses or defenses. Just smile and reply, I guess that person doesn't know about all my other faults. Otherwise, he wouldn't have mentioned only these.
Epictetus
If I can acquire money and also keep myself modest and faithful and magnanimous, point out the way, and I will acquire it.
Epictetus
Seek to be the purple thread in the long white gown.
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
At this time is freedom anything but the right to live as we wish? Nothing else.
Epictetus
