Additional quotes by Epictetus
There is one road to peace and happiness (keep the thought near by morning, noon and night): renunciation of externals;
You will do the greatest services to the state, if you shall raise not the roofs of the houses, but the souls of the citizens: for it is better that great souls should dwell in small houses than for mean slaves to lurk in great houses.
The essence of philosophy is that a man should so live that his happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things.
