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
Act well your given part the choice rests not with you.

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
Of pleasures, those which occur most rarely give the most delight.
Epictetus
Wherever I go it will be well with me, for it was well with me here, not on account of the place, but of my judgments which I shall carry away with me, for no one can deprive me of these on the contrary, they alone are my property, and cannot be taken away, and to possess them suffices me wherever I am or whatever I do.
Epictetus
Renew every day your conversation with God: Do this even in preference to eating. Think more often of God than you breathe.
Epictetus
Men are not afraid of things, but of how they view them.
Epictetus
No matter what happens, it is within my power to turn it to my advantage.
Epictetus
We all carry the seeds of greatness within us, but we need an image as a point of focus in order that they may sprout.
Epictetus
