More Quotes from Epictetus
Any person capable of angering you becomes your master.
Just keep in mind: the more we value things outside our control, the less control we have.
Remember that you ought to behave in life as you would at a banquet. As something is being passed around it comes to you; stretch out your hand, take a portion of it politely. It passes on; do not detain it. Or it has not come to you yet; do not project your desire to meet it, but wait until it comes in front of you. So act toward children, so act toward a wife, so toward office, so toward wealth.
Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems.
How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself?
