Epictetus:

"Freedom is secured not by the fulfilling of one's desires, but by the removal of desire."

"Where is the good? In the will. Where is the evil? In the will. Where is neither of them? In those things which are independent of the will."

"Man is disturbed not by things, but by the views he takes of them."

"If, therefore, any be unhappy, let him remember that he is unhappy by reason of himself alone."

"I am formed by nature for my own good: I am not formed for my own evil."

"Permit nothing to cleave to you that is not your own; nothing to grow to you that may give you agony when it is torn away."

"He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has."

"God is best worshipped in the shrine of the heart by the desire to know and obey him."
