Quotes by Epictetus

First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.

Know, first, who you are; and then adorn yourself accordingly.

Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens.

When you close your doors, and make darkness within, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not alone; nay, God is within, and your genius is within. And what need have they of light to see what you are doing?

Wherever a man is against his will, that is his prison.
