Epictetus
“You become what you give your attention to.”
Epictetus, The Art of Living: The Classical Manual on Virtue, Happiness and Effectiveness

Epictetus
“If someone tried to take control of your body and make you a slave, you would fight for freedom. Yet how easily you hand over your mind to anyone who insults you. When you dwell on their words and let them dominate your thoughts, you make them your master.”
Epictetus, The Manual: A Philosopher's Guide to Life

Epictetus
“The more we value things outside our control, the less control we have.”
Epictetus, Discourses and Selected Writings

Epictetus
“Never depend on the admiration of others. There is no strength in it. Personal merit cannot be derived from an external source. It is not to be found in your personal associations, nor can it be found in the regard of other people. It is a fact of life that other people, even people who love you, will not necessarily agree with your ideas, understand you, or share your enthusiasms. Grow up! Who cares what other people think about you!”
Epictetus, The Art of Living: The Classical Manual on Virtue, Happiness, and Effectiveness

Epictetus
“Do not try to seem wise to others. If you want to live a wise life, live it on your own terms and in your own eyes.”
Epictetus, The Art of Living: The Classical Manual on Virtue, Happiness, and Effectiveness
