Epictetus
No matter where you find yourself, comport yourself as if you were a distinguished person.
Epictetus

Epictetus
He is free who lives as he wishes to live who is neither subject to compulsion nor to hindrance, nor to force whose movements to action are not impeded, whose desires attain their purpose, and who does not fall into that which he would avoid.
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
You bear God within you, poor wretch, and know it not.
Epictetus
The materials are indifferent, but the use we make of them is not a matter of indifference.
Epictetus
Imagine for yourself a character, a model personality, whose example you determine to follow, in private as well as in public.
Epictetus
