Additional quotes by Epictetus

Stop aspiring to be anyone other than your own best self: for that does fall within your control.

The philosopher’s lecture hall is a hospital. You shouldn’t walk out of it feeling pleasure, but pain, for you weren’t well when you entered.

That’s the kind of attitude you need to cultivate if you would be a philosopher, the sort of sentiments you should write down every day and put in practice.

Study, not in order to add anything to your knowledge, but to make your knowledge better. - Epictetus
