Epictetus Quotes About Reputation

Quotes about: Reputation

• The greater the difficulty the more glory in surmounting it. Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests.

  Epictetus

  Positive, Encouraging, Uplifting

• Some things are up to us [eph' hêmin] and some things are not up to us. Our opinions are up to us, and our impulses, desires, aversions–in short, whatever is our own doing. Our bodies are not up to us, nor are our possessions, our reputations, or our public offices, or, that is, whatever is not our own doing.

  Epictetus

  Office, Desire, Body

• Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever are our own actions. Things not in our control are body, property, reputation, command, and, in one word, whatever are not our own actions.

  Desire, Body, Aversion
