Hallo dear readers,
Today we will look at five quotes from Epictetus.
Let's dive in :)
“We suffer not from the events in our lives, but from our judgment about them.”
-Epictetus
“It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.”
-Epictetus
“No man is free who is not master of himself.”
-Epictetus
“First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.”
-Epictetus
Three facts about Epictetus:
-He was born in slavery around 50 AD in Hierapolis.
-His philosophy is preserved through works written by his student Arrian, including The Enchiridion.
-After gaining freedom, he founded a Stoic school in Nicopolis, promoting simplicity and self-discipline.
Thank you for your support.
