Additional quotes by Epictetus

If someone handed your body over to a passerby, you would be annoyed. Aren’t you ashamed that you hand over your mind to anyone around, for it to be upset and confused if the person insults you?

Who is your master? Anyone who has control over things upon which you’ve set your heart, or over things which you seek to avoid.

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