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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 567 quotes

If you would cure anger, do no...

If you would cure anger, do not feed it. Say to yourself: 'I used to be angry every day; then every other day; now only every third or fourth day.' When you reach thirty days offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the gods.

There is only one thing for which God has sent me into the world, and that is to develop every kind of virtue or strength, and there is nothing in all the world that I cannot use for this purpose.

Epictetus 03.03.2018 03:03:03 567 quotes

Covetousness like jealousy, when it has taken root, never leaves a person, but with their life. Cowardice is the dread of what will happen.

Epictetus 03.03.2018 03:03:03 567 quotes

Keep your attention focused entirely on what is truly your own concern, and be clear that what belongs to others is their business and none of yours.

At every occasion in your life, do not forget to commune with
yourself and ask of yourself how you can profit by it.
