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.
EpictetusFirst say to yourself what you would be;and then do what you have to do.
EpictetusIs freedom anything else than the right to live as we wish? Nothing else.
EpictetusWe have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.
EpictetusThe essence of philosophy is that a man should so live that his happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things.
EpictetusStichwörter: happiness
What concerns me is not the way things are, but the way people think things are.
EpictetusNo great thing is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.
EpictetusWhat then, is it not possible to be free from faults? It is not possible; but this is possible: to direct your efforts incessantly to being faultess. For we must be content if by never remitting this attention we shall escape at least a few errors. When you have said "Tomorrow I will begin to attend," you must be told that you are saying this: "Today I will be shameless, disregardful of time and place, mean;it will be in the power of others to give me pain, today I will be passionate and envious.
See how many evil things you are permitting yourself to do. If it is good to use attention tomorrow, how much better is it to do so today? If tomorrow it is in your interest to attend, much more is it today, that you may be able to do so tomorrow also, and may not defer it again to the third day.
Small-minded people blame others. Average people blame themselves. The wise see all blame as foolishness
