Epictetus

Is freedom anything else than the right to live as we wish? Nothing else. ”

Whenever you are angry, be assured that it is not only a present evil, but that you have increased a habit. ”

No great thing is created suddenly. ”

Control thy passions lest they take vengence on thee. ”

You are a little soul carrying around a corpse. ”

It takes more than just a good looking body. You've got to have the heart and soul to go with it. ”

Practice yourself, for heaven's sake in little things, and then proceed to greater. ”

We should not moor a ship with one anchor, or our life with one hope. ”

Neither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope. ”

Imagine for yourself a character, a model personality, whose example you determine to follow, in private as well as in public. ”
