Freedom is secured not by the fulfillment of one’s desires, but by the removal of desire (Epictetus Quotes)
Give yourself fully to your endeavors. Decide to construct your character through excellent actions and determine to pay the price of a worthy goal. The trials you encounter will introduce you to your strengths (Epictetus Quotes)
He is free who lives as he wishes to live; who is neither subject to compulsion nor to hindrance, nor to force; whose movements to action are not impeded, whose desires attain their purpose, and who does not fall into that which he would avoid (Epictetus Quotes)

What ought one to say then as each hardship comes? I was practicing for this, I was training for this (Epictetus Quotes)
Your master is he who controls that on which you have set your heart or wish to avoid (Epictetus Quotes)
The flourishing life cannot be achieved until we moderate our desires and see how superficial and fleeting they are (Epictetus Quotes)
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 (Epictetus Quotes)
It is not a demonstration of kindness or friendship to the people we care about to join them in indulging in wrongheaded, negative feelings. We do a better service to ourselves and others by remaining detached and avoiding melodramatic reactions (Epictetus Quotes)
When we blather about trivial things, we ourselves become trivial, for our attention gets taken up with trivialities. You become what you give your attention to (Epictetus Quotes)
Don’t consent to be hurt and you won’t be hurt – this is a choice over which you have control (Epictetus Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Seek not that the things which happen should happen as you wish; but wish the things which happen to be as they are, and you will have a tranquil flow of life (Epictetus Quotes)
Whoever then wishes to be free, let him neither wish for anything nor avoid anything which depends on others: if he does not observe this rule, he must be a slave (Epictetus Quotes)
Who are those people by whom you wish to be admired? Are they not these whom you are in the habit of saying that they are mad? What then? Do you wish to be admired by the mad? (Epictetus Quotes)
Keep your attention focused entirely on what is truly your own concern, and be clear that what belongs to others is their business and none of yours (Epictetus Quotes)
If anyone is unhappy, remember that his unhappiness is his own fault... Nothing else is the cause of anxiety or loss of tranquility except our own opinion (Epictetus Quotes)
Never say of anything I have lost it, only say that I have given it back (Epictetus Quotes)
If you have assumed a character above your strength, you have both acted in this matter in an unbecoming way, and you have neglected that which you might have fulfilled (Epictetus Quotes)
In theory it is easy to convince an ignorant person; in actual life, men not only object to offer themselves to be convinced, but hate the man who has convinced them (Epictetus Quotes)
It’s so simple really: If you say you’re going to do something, do it. If you start something, finish it (Epictetus Quotes)
We can’t control the impressions others form about us, and the effort to do so only debases our character (Epictetus Quotes)
Be not diverted from your duty by any idle reflections the silly world may make upon you, for their censures are not in your power and should not be at all your concerns (Epictetus Quotes)
To a longer and worse life, a shorter and better is by all means to be preferred (Epictetus Quotes)
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 Quotes)
To adorn our characters by the charm of an amiable nature shows at once a lover of beauty and a lover of man (Epictetus Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 (Epictetus Quotes)
