Epictetus was a pretty wise guy

The essence of philosophy is that a man should so live that his happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things.

There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.

Whenever you are angry, be assured that it is not only a present evil, but that you have increased a habit.

When you are offended at any man's fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger.

The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best.

It takes more than just a good looking body. You've got to have the heart and soul to go with it
