Additional quotes by Epictetus

It is not your concern by what means something returns to the Source from which it came.

Be bold to look towards God and say, "Use me henceforward for whatever you want; I am of one mind with you; I am yours; I refuse nothing that seems good to you; lead me where you will; wrap me in what clothes you will."

Hãy vứt ngay đi cái gì không phải của ta. Hãy thanh lọc các ý kiến của bạn để cái gì không thuộc về bạn sẽ không bám lấy bạn, đừng có dính vào đó và cũng đừng đau khổ khi người ta tước bỏ của bạn cái thứ không thuộc về bạn đó.
