    THE WORDS OF EPICTETUS

    It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.

    Epictetus

    ***

    People are not disturbed by things, but by the view they take of them.

    Epictetus

    ***

    Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.

    Epictetus

    ***

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

    Epictetus

    ***

    You are a little soul carrying around a corpse.

    Epictetus

    ***

    He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.

    Epictetus

    ***

    First learn the meaning of what you say, and then speak.

    Epictetus

    ***

    When you are offended at any man's fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger.

    Epictetus

    ***

    All religions must be tolerated... for every man must get to heaven in his own way.

    Epictetus

    ***

    Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens.

    Epictetus

    ***

    Difficulties are things that show a person what they are.

    Epictetus

    ***

    To 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

    ***

    Freedom is not procured by a full enjoyment of what is desired, but by controlling the desire.

    Epictetus

    ***

    We should not moor a ship with one anchor, or our life with one hope.

    Epictetus

    ***

    Freedom is the right to live as we wish.

    Epictetus

    ***

    Neither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.

    Epictetus

    ***

    We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.

    Epictetus

    ***

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

    Epictetus

    ***

    If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.

    Epictetus

    ***

    It is the nature of the wise
