Men are disturbed not by the things which happen, but by the opinions about the things.

-Epictetus
Nothing truly stops you. Nothing truly holds you back. For your own will is always within your control. Sickness may challenge your body. But are you merely your body? Lameness may impede your legs. But you are not merely your legs. Your will is bigger than your legs. Your will needn’t be affected by an incident unless you let it.
-Epictetus
Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.
―Epictetus
One that desires to excel should endeavor in those things that are in themselves most excellent.
Epictetus
Control thy desires, lest they control thee.
Epictetus
