Epictetus

Small-minded people blame others. Average people blame themselves. The wise see all blame as foolishness.

Epictetus

So if you like doing something, do it regularly; if you don’t like doing something, make a habit of doing something different.

Epictetus

The best place to get help is from yourself.

Epictetus

The good or ill of a man lies within his own will.

Epictetus

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

Epictetus

The husbandman deals with land; physicians and trainers with the body; the wise man with his own mind.

Epictetus

There is no shame in making an honest effort.

Epictetus

Time relieves the foolish from sorrow, but reason relieves the wise.

Epictetus

We all carry the seeds of greatness within us, but we need an image as a point of focus in order that they may sprout.

Epictetus

We are not disturbed by what happens to us, but by our thoughts about what happens to us.
