Epictetus
Don’t explain your philosophy. Embody it.
He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.
Be not diverted from your duty by any idle reflections the silly world may make upon you, for their censures are not in your power and should not be at all your concerns.
Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
People are disturbed not by things, but by the view they take of them.
Men are not disturbed by things, but the view they take of things.
