Additional quotes by Epictetus

Don't be concerned with other people's impressions of you. They are dazzled and deluded by appearances. Stick with your purpose. This alone with strengthen your will and give your life coherence.

As the sun does not wait for prayers and incantations to be induced to rise, but immediately shines and is saluted by all: so do you also not wait for clappings of hands, and shouts and praise to be induced to do good, but be a doer of good voluntarily, and you will be beloved as much as the sun.

It is enough if everyone does well what he or she is supposed to do.

Nicht die Dinge an sich sind es, die uns beunruhigen, sondern unsere Vorstellung von den Dingen. - Epictetus
