Wherever I go it will be well ...

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 567 quotes

Happiness and freedom begin wi...

Happiness and freedom begin with a clear understanding of one principle: Some things are within our control, and some things are not.

Were I a nightingale, I would act the part of a nightingale; were I a swan, the part of a swan.

Epictetus 567 quotes

Some things are up to us [eph' hГЄmin] and some things are not up to us. Our opinions are up to us, and our impulses, desires, aversionsЂ'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.

With ills unending strives the putter off.

Epictetus 567 quotes

Nothing truly stops you. Nothing truly holds you back. For your own will is always within your control. Sickness may challenge your body. But are you merely your body? Lameness may impede your legs. But you are not merely your legs. Your will is bigger than your legs. Your will needn't be affected by an incident unless you let it.

What is the first business of one who practices philosophy? To get rid of self-conceit. For it is impossible for anyone to begin to learn that which he thinks he already knows.

Epictetus 567 quotes

What else can I do, a lame old man, but sing hymns to God? If I were a nightingale, I would do the nightingale's part; if I were a swan, I would do as a swan. But now I am a rational creature, and I ought to praise God. This is my work. I do it, nor will I desert my post, so long as I am allowed to keep it. And I ask you to join me in this same song.

To live a life of virtue, you have to become consistent, even when it isn't convenient, comfortable, or easy.

When you let go of your attention for a little while, do not think you may recover it whenever you please.

Epictetus 567 quotes

Don't regard what anyone says of you, for this, after all, is no concern of yours.

Common and vulgar people ascribe all ills that they feel to others; people of little wisdom ascribe to themselves; people of much wisdom, to no one.

It is not death or pain that is to be dreaded, but the fear of pain or death.

Epictetus 567 quotes

A half-hearted spirit has no power. Tentative efforts lead to tentative outcomes. Average people enter into their endeavors headlong and without care.

Epictetus 567 quotes

Freedom is secured not by the fulfillment of one's desires, but by the removal of desire.
