We should not moor a ship wit...

We should not moor a ship with one anchor, or our life with one hope.

Epictetus 567 quotes

The greater the difficulty th...

The greater the difficulty the more glory in surmounting it. Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests.

Epictetus 567 quotes

One that desires to excel sho...

One that desires to excel should endeavor in those things that are in themselves most excellent.

Epictetus 567 quotes

If one oversteps the bounds o...

If one oversteps the bounds of moderation, the greatest pleasures cease to please.

Epictetus 567 quotes

Be careful to leave your sons...

Be careful to leave your sons well instructed rather than rich, for the hopes of the instructed are better than the wealth of the ignorant.

Epictetus 567 quotes

The essence of philosophy is ...

The essence of philosophy is that a man should so live that his happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things.

Epictetus 567 quotes

When something happens, the o...

When something happens, the only thing in your power is your attitude toward it. It is not the things that disturb us, but our interpretation of their significance. Things and people are not what we wish them to be nor are they what they seem to be. They are what they are.

Epictetus 567 quotes

To live a life of virtue, you...

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

Epictetus 567 quotes

Renew every day your conversa...

Renew every day your conversation with God: Do this even in preference to eating. Think more often of God than you breathe.

Epictetus 567 quotes

Nothing truly stops you. Not...

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.

Epictetus 567 quotes

We can't control the impressi...

We can't control the impressions others form about us, and the effort to do so only debases our character.

Epictetus 567 quotes

I have to die. If it is now, ...

I have to die. If it is now, well then I die now; if later, then now I will take my lunch, since the hour for lunch has arrived - and dying I will tend to later.

Epictetus 567 quotes

Every difficulty in life pres...

Every difficulty in life presents us with an opportunity to turn inward and to invoke our own submerged inner resources. The trials we endure can and should introduce us to our strengths.

Epictetus 567 quotes

In trying to please other peo...

In trying to please other people, we find ourselves misdirected toward what lies outside our sphere of influence. In doing so, we lose our hold on our lifes purpose.

Epictetus 567 quotes

We cannot choose our external...

We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them.

Epictetus 567 quotes

Never depend on the admiratio...

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 567 quotes

Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems

Epictetus 567 quotes

As you think, so you become.....

As you think, so you become.....Our busy minds are forever jumping to conclusions, manufacturing and interpreting signs that aren't there.

Epictetus 567 quotes

No matter what happens, it is...

No matter what happens, it is within my power to turn it to my advantage.

Epictetus 567 quotes

Don't be concerned with other...

Don't be concerned with other people's impressions of you. They are dazzled and deluded by appearances. Stick with your purpose. This alone will strengthen your will and give your life coherence.
