Epictetus

The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best.

Epictetus

The world turns aside to let any man pass who knows where he is going.

Epictetus

We should do everything both cautiously and confidently at the same time.

Epictetus

When someone is properly grounded in life, they shouldn’t have to look outside themselves for approval.

Epictetus

You become what you give your attention to.

Epictetus

A ship should not be held by a single anchor; neither should life depend upon a single hope.

Epictetus

Although we can’t control which roles are assigned to us, it must be our business to act our given role as best we possibly can and to refrain from complaining about it. Where ever you find yourself and in whatever circumstances, give an impeccable performance.

Epictetus

Any person capable of angering you becomes your master; he can anger you only when you permit yourself to be disturbed by him.

Epictetus

Anything worth putting off is worth abandoning altogether.

Epictetus

Be careful whom you associate with. It is human to imitate the habits of those with whom we interact. We inadvertently adopt their interests, their opinions, their values, and their habit of interpreting events.
