The following is a compilation Epictetus life changing powerful quotes. Epictetus was a Greek Stoic philosopher. He was born a slave at Hierapolis, Phrygia. Epictetus taught that philosophy is a way of life and not just a theoretical discipline. To Epictetus, all external events are beyond our control; we should accept whatever happens calmly and dispassionately (Wikipedia).
“When you wake up in the morning, think of what a precious privilege is to be alive to breathe, to think, to enjoys, to love.”
“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts”.

“Do not indulge in dreams of having what you have not, but reckon up the chief of the blessings you do possess, and then thankfully remember how you would crave for them if they were not yours”.
The objective of life is not to be on the side
of the majority
but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

If anyone tells you that a certain person speaks ill of you, do not make excuses about what is said of you but answer,
” He was ignorant of my other faults, else he would not have mentioned these alone”.
Only the educated are free.
It’s not what happens to you that matter,
but
how you react to it..

Wealth consists of not having great possessions
but
in having few wants..

Men are not disturbed by things
but
by the view which they take of them.
First say to yourself
what you would have to be;
then do what you have to do.

How long are you going to
wait before
you
demand the best
for yourself
These are some of my favorite quotes about life and happiness! Thanks for your post!
