People are not disturbed by things but by the view they take of them.

Epictetus  (55 - 135) Greek Philosopher

Quotations are extremely effective at capturing and concisely communicating thoughts and ideas. They can be inspirational but more importantly quotations can help us reveal and assess the assumptions, values and beliefs that underlie the ways in which we perceive the world.

I have compiled over 800 quotations and short excerpts on this website. It is an eclectic mix but most of them are inspirational or insightful in nature and relate to knowledge, learning or personal development in some form.

Quotations from Epictetus:

 To accuse others for ones misfortunes is a sign of want of education.
To accuse oneself shows that ones education has begun.
To accuse neither oneself nor others shows ones education is complete.

Epictetus , (55 - 135) Greek Philosopher



 Any person capable of angering you becomes your master; he can anger you only when you permit yourself to be disturbed by him.

Epictetus , (55 - 135) Greek Philosopher



 People are not disturbed by things but by the view they take of them.

Epictetus , (55 - 135) Greek Philosopher



 We cannot chose our external circumstances but we can always choose how we respond to them.

Epictetus , (55 - 135) Greek Philosopher



 He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.

Epictetus , (55 - 135) Greek Philosopher
