Men are disturbed not by things that happen, but by their opinion of the things that happen (Epictetus Quotes)
A wise man is he who does not grieve for the thing which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has (Epictetus Quotes)

Be free from grief not through insensibility like the irrational animals, nor through want of thought like the foolish, but like a man of virtue by having reason as the consolation of grief (Epictetus Quotes)
Let death and exile, and all other things which appear terrible, be daily before your eyes, but death chiefly; and you will never entertain any abject thought, nor too eagerly covet anything (Epictetus Quotes)
If any one tells you that such a person speaks ill of you, do not make excuse about what is said of you, but answer: He was ignorant or my other faults, else he would not have mentioned these alone (Epictetus Quotes)
