It is your own convictions which compels you; that is, choice compels choice.

Epictetus 567 quotes

What disturbs people's minds are not events but their judgments on events.

As a man, casting off worn out garments taketh new ones, so the dweller in the body, entereth into ones that are new.

Epictetus 567 quotes

Remember that you are an actor in a play, and that the Playwright chooses the manner of it: If he wants you to act a poor man you must act the part with all your powers; and so if your part be a cripple or a magistrate or a plain man. For your business is to act the character that is given you and act it well. The choice of the cast is Another's.

Epictetus 567 quotes

Nothing outside the will can ...

Nothing outside the will can hinder or harm the will; it can only harm itself. If then we accept this, and, when things go amiss, are inclined to blame ourselves, remembering that judgment alone can disturb our peace and constancy, I swear to you by all the gods that we have made progress.

Epictetus 567 quotes

Nothing is in reality either ...

Nothing is in reality either pleasant or unpleasant by nature but all things become so through habit

Epictetus 567 quotes

Nature hath given men one tongue but two ears, that we may hear from others twice as much as we speak.

You may fetter my leg, but Zeus himself cannot get the better of my free will.

Epictetus 567 quotes

It is the act of an ill-instructed man to blame others for his own bad condition; it is the act of one who has begun to be instructed, to lay the blame on himself; and of one whose instruction is completed, neither to blame another, nor himself.

There are some things which men confess with ease, and others with difficulty.

Epictetus 567 quotes

If you would improve, submit ...

If you would improve, submit to be considered wihout sense and foolish with respect to externals. Wish to be considered to know nothing; and if you shall seem to someone to be a person of importance, distrust yourself.

Epictetus 567 quotes

Do not give sentence in another tribunal till you have been yourself judged in the tribunal of Justice.

If you would be well spoken of, learn to be well-spoken; and having learnt to be well- spoken, strive also to be well-doing; so shall you succeed in being well spoken of.

It is not so much what happens to you as how you think about what happens." Epictetus

Epictetus 567 quotes

Does a man reproach thee for ...

Does a man reproach thee for being proud or ill-natured, envious or conceited, ignorant or detracting? Consider with thyself whether his reproaches are true. If they are not, consider that thou art not the person whom he reproaches, but that he reviles an imaginary being, and perhaps loves what thou really art, though he hates what thou appearest to be.

Epictetus 567 quotes

It is better by assenting to ...

It is better by assenting to truth to conquer opinion, than by assenting to opinion to be conquered by truth.
