Epictetus
Happiness is an equivalent for all troublesome things.

Epictetus
Silence is safer than speech.

If we are not stupid or insincere when we say that the good or ill of man lies within his own will, and that all beside is nothing to us, why are we still troubled?
Epictetus
Whoever does not regard what he has as most ample wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world.
Epictetus
Man is troubled not by events, but by the meaning he gives them.
Epictetus
Try not to react merely in the moment. Pull back from the situation. Take a wider view. Compose yourself.
Epictetus
There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
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
He is a drunkard who takes more than three glasses though he be not drunk.
Epictetus
Be free from grief not through insensibility like the irrational animals, nor through want of thought like the foolish, but like a man of virtue by having reason as the consolation of grief.
Epictetus
