Epictetus’ Wisdom
May 28, 2023
Epictetus, a prominent Stoic philosopher of ancient Greece, offers profound insights on living a virtuous and fulfilling life. Sharing six of my favorite thoughts from Epictetus.
- God has entrusted me with myself.
- No man is free who is not master of himself.
- The greater the difficulty the more glory in surmounting it. Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests.
- Wealth consists not in having great possessions but in having few wants.
- He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.
- People are not disturbed by things, but by the view they take of them.
