More quotes by Epictetus
I am not eternity, but a man a part of the whole, as an hour is of the day.
Epictetus
Not things, but opinions about things, trouble men.
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
A half-hearted spirit has no power. Tentative efforts lead to tentative outcomes. Average people enter into their endeavors headlong and without care.
Epictetus
Contentment, as it is a short road and pleasant, has great delight and little trouble.
Epictetus
Dare to look up to God and say, Deal with me in the future as Thou wilt I am of the same mind as Thou art I am Thine I refuse nothing that pleases Thee lead me where Thou wilt clothe me in any dress Thou choosest.
Epictetus
It is unlikely that the good of a snail should reside in its shell: so is it likely that the good of a man should?
Epictetus

Epictetus
Seek not the good in external thingsseek it in yourselves.
Epictetus

Epictetus
Give me by all means the shorter and nobler life, instead of one that is longer but of less account!
Epictetus
When we blather about trivial things, we ourselves become trivial, for our attention gets taken up with trivialities. You become what you give your attention to.
Epictetus
Embrace reality. Think about what delights you - the small luxuries on which you depend, the people whom you cherish most. But remember that they have their own distinct character, which is quite a separate matter from how we happen to regard them.
Epictetus
It is your own convictions which compels you that is, choice compels choice.
Epictetus
Seek to be the purple thread in the long white gown.
Epictetus
You can be happy if you know this secret: Some things are within your power to control and some things are not.
Epictetus
If you would be a reader, read if a writer, write.
Epictetus
As in walking it is your great care not to run your foot upon a nail, or to tread awry, and strain your leg so let it be in all the affairs of human life, not to hurt your mind or offend your judgment. And this rule, if observed carefully in all your deportment, will be a mighty security to you in your undertakings.
Epictetus
If thou rememberest that God standeth by to behold and visit all that thou doest whether in the body or in the soul, thou surely wilt not err in any prayer or deed and thou shalt have God to dwell with thee.
Epictetus
Pain or pleasure? I say pleasure.
Epictetus
