More quotes by 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
There are some things which men confess with ease, and others with difficulty.
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
He who laughs at himself never runs out of things to laugh at.
Epictetus
You are but an appearance, and not absolutely the thing you appear to be.
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
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
The universe is but one great city, full of beloved ones, divine and human, by nature endeared to each other.
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
If you seek truth you will not seek victory by dishonorable means, and if you find truth you will become invincible.
Epictetus
When something happens, the only thing in your power is your attitude toward it you can either accept it or resent it.
Epictetus
No living being is held by anything so strongly as its own needs.
Epictetus
Practice yourself, for heaven's sake, in little things, and thence proceed to greater.
Epictetus
Contentment, as it is a short road and pleasant, has great delight and little trouble.
Epictetus
What is death? A scary mask. Take it off-see, it doesn't bite.
Epictetus
Remember that you are but an actor, acting whatever part the Master has ordained. It may be short or it may be long. If he wishes you to represent a poor man, do so heartily if a cripple, or a magistrate, or a private man, in each case act your part with honor.
Epictetus
If you seek Truth, you will not seek to gain a victory by every possible means and when you have found Truth, you need not fear being defeated.
Epictetus
It is not events that disturb the minds of men, but the view they take of them.
Epictetus
An ignorant person is inclined to blame others for his own misfortune. To blame oneself is proof of progress. But the wise man never has to blame another or himself.
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
