There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
-Epictetus
Freedom is the only worthy goal in life. It is won by disregarding things that lie beyond our control. Stop aspiring to be anyone other than your own best self: for that does fall within your control.
-Epictetus
Don’t be concerned who is watching you. The triumphs and merits of others belong to them – as do yours to you. Make the most of what you’ve got.
-Epictetus
He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.
-Epictetus
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
A vulgar man, in any ill that happens to him, blames others; a novice in philosophy blames himself; and a philosopher blames neither, the one nor the other.
– Epictetus
When something happens, the only thing in your power is your attitude toward it; you can either accept it or resent it.
– Epictetus
