I must die. Must I then die lamenting? I must be put in chains. Must I then also lament? I must go into exile. Does any man then hinder me from going with smiles and cheerfulness and contentment?

Epictetus 567 quotes

No man is free who is not mas...

No man is free who is not master of himself... Is freedom anything else than the power of living as we choose?

Epictetus 567 quotes

Ask yourself: Does this appe...

Epictetus 567 quotes

If anyone is unhappy, remember that his unhappiness is his own fault... Nothing else is the cause of anxiety or loss of tranquility except our own opinion.

Why, do you not know, then, that the origin of all human evils, and of baseness, and cowardice, is not death, but rather the fear of death?

Epictetus 567 quotes

"But to be hanged - is that n...

"But to be hanged - is that not unendurable?" Even so, when a man feels that it is reasonable, he goes off and hangs himself.

Epictetus 567 quotes

Things themselves don't hurt ...

Things themselves don't hurt or hinder us. Things simply are what they are. How we view these things is another matter.People think what they will think; it is of no concern to us.

Epictetus 567 quotes

Some things are up to us [eph...

Some things are up to us [eph' h?min] and some things are not up to us. Our opinions are up to us, and our impulses, desires, aversions–in short, whatever is our own doing. Our bodies are not up to us, nor are our possessions, our reputations, or our public offices, or, that is, whatever is not our own doing.

Epictetus 567 quotes

Pleasure, like a kind of bait...

Pleasure, like a kind of bait, is thrown before everything which is really bad, and easily allures greedy souls to the hook of perdition.

Epictetus 567 quotes

From now on practice saying to everything that appears unpleasant: You are merely an appearance and NOT what you appear to be.

Epictetus 567 quotes

What hurts this person is not...

What hurts this person is not the occurrence itself, for another person might not feel oppressed by this situation at all. What is hurting this person is the response he or she has uncritically adopted. It is not a demonstration of kindness or friendship to the people we care about to join them in indulging in wrongheaded, negative feelings.

Epictetus 567 quotes

Truth is a thing immortal and...

Truth is a thing immortal and perpetual, and it gives to us a beauty that fades not away in time, nor does it take away the freedom of speech which proceeds from justice; but it gives to us the knowledge of what is just and lawful, separating from them the unjust and refuting them.

Epictetus 567 quotes

Opportunity beckons more sure...

Opportunity beckons more surely when misfortune comes upon a person than it ever does when that person is riding the crest of a wave of success. It sharpens a person's wits, if that person will let it, enabling him or her to see more clearly and evaluate situations with a more knowledgeable judgment.

Epictetus 567 quotes

The wise realize that some things are within their control, and most things are not. They learn early on to distinguish between what they can and can't regulate.

Epictetus 567 quotes

Every habit and faculty is preserved and increased by correspondent actions, as the habit of walking, by walking; of running, by running.
