There
is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which
are beyond the power of our will.
―Epictetus 55 AD-135 AD
The
key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls
forth your best. ―Epictetus 55 AD-135 AD

not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters. ―Epictetus 55 AD-135 AD

religions must be tolerated... for every man must get to heaven in his own way. ―Epictetus 55 AD-135 AD

accuse others for one's own misfortunes is a sign of want of education. To
accuse oneself shows that one's education has begun. To accuse neither oneself
nor others shows that one's education is complete. ―Epictetus 55 AD-135 AD
When
you are offended at any man's fault, turn to yourself and study your own
failings. Then you will forget your anger. ―Epictetus 55
AD-135 AD
First
learn the meaning of what you say, and then speak. ―Epictetus 55 AD-135 AD

evil be spoken of you and it be true, correct yourself, if it be a lie, laugh
at it. ―Epictetus
55 AD-135 AD
First
say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do. ―Epictetus 55 AD-135 AD
