Epictetus
epictetus. b. AD 55,, probably at Hierapolis, Phrygia now Pamukkale, Turkeydc 135,, Nicopolis, Epirus Greece. The Discourses of epictetus (Chapter 22).
http://www.kat.gr/kat/history/Greek/Ph/Epictetus.htm

Extractions: His original name is not known; epiktetos is the Greek word meaning "acquired." As a boy he was a slave but managed to attend lectures by the Stoic Musonius Rufus. He later became a freedman and lived his life lame and in ill health. In AD 90 he was expelled from Rome with other philosophers by the emperor Domitian, who was irritated by the favourable reception given by Stoics to opponents of his tyranny. The rest of his life Epictetus spent at Nicopolis. As far as is known, Epictetus wrote nothing. His teachings were transmitted by Arrian, his pupil, in two works: Discourses, of which four books are extant; and the Encheiridion, or Manual, a condensed aphoristic version of the main doctrines. In his teachings Epictetus followed the early rather than the late Stoics, reverting to Socrates and to Diogenes , the philosopher of Cynicism, as historical models of the sage. Primarily interested in ethics, Epictetus described philosophy as learning "how it is possible to employ desire and aversion without hindrance." True education, he believed, consists in recognizing that there is only one thing that belongs to an individual fully his will, or purpose. God, acting as a good king and father, has given each being a will that cannot be compelled or thwarted by anything external. Men are not responsible for the ideas that present themselves to their consciousness, though they are wholly responsible for the way in which they use them. "Two maxims," Epictetus said:

http://www.memorablequotations.com/epictetus.htm

Extractions: at Amazon It is a sign of a dull nature to occupy oneself deeply in matters that concern the body; for instance, to be over much occupied about exercise, about eating and drinking, about easing oneself, about sexual intercourse. Remember that you are an actor in a drama, of such a part as it may please the master to assign you, for a long time or for a little as he may choose. And if he will you to take the part of a poor man, or a cripple, or a ruler, or a private citizen, then may you act that part with grace! For to act well the part that is allotted to us, that indeed is ours to do, but to choose it is another's. You are a little soul carrying around a corpse. You may be always victorious if you will never enter into any contest where the issue does not wholly depend upon yourself. I have never wished to cater to the crowd; for what I know they do not approve, and what they approve I do not know. MemorableQuotations.com

Extractions: Epictetus Epictetus was born in Hierapolis in Rome in 55 AD as a Roman slave to Epaphroditus. He somehow later on gained his freedom, possibly when Epaphroditus died, and began teaching philosophy in Rome. He taught in Rome until he and all other philosophers were expelled by Domitian in 90 AD He then moved to Nicopolis, Epirus where he founded his own school and later on died around 135 AD. Ethics Epictetus believed in Stoicism and was one of the leading Stoics. Stoicism is a moral doctrine that says human beings must conform themselves to the ways of the universe. Epictetus followed early stoics. He was mainly interested in ethics and defined philosophy as "learning how it is possible to employ desire and aversion without hindrance." He said true education was realizing the at there was only one thing that belongs to an individual and that is his will or purpose. Just as the Stoics, Epictetus felt that this will could not be compelled by anything external like insult, reputation, enslavement, political office, love, exile, or loneliness. He felt that men were not responsible for the ideas that present themselves to their consciousness but they are responsible for how they use them. Epictetus had 2 main maxims that he believed in: Apart from the will there is nothing good or bad We must not try to anticipate or to direct events, but merely to accept them with intelligence. This also means Do not concern yourself with things beyond your control.
Epictetus: The Fundamentals

http://www.cognitivetherapy.com/epictetus.html

Extractions: New York Institute for Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies The first cognitive behavior therapist , so to speak, in the Western world was the philosopher Epictetus (c. 50138 AD). He was born a slave in the Greek-speaking Roman province of Phrygia, in what is now central Turkey. One day when Epictetus was working in the fields chained to an iron stake, his master approached him with the idea of tightening his leg shackle. Epictetus suggested that making the shackle tighter was not needed to keep him from running away, but would merely break his leg. The master was not persuaded, and sure enough Epictetus's leg was broken. But he did not protest or give any sign of distress. His master asked him why, and was told that since the leg was already irreversibly broken, there was really no point in getting upset about it. His master was so impressed by this demonstration of unflappability that he eventually set Epictetus free, and sent him away with money so he could become an itinerant philosopher. Epictetus considered this preferable to being a philosopher chained to a stake, and eventually came to Rome, then the capital of the Western world. Among the prominent Romans he influenced was the emperor Marcus Aurelius. Here are some of his most important ideas, which have stood the test of 1,900 years astonishingly well.

Extractions: Stoics - Moral Philosophy Epictetus Imagine someone's twisting your leg. It hurts. "If you don't stop you'll break it," you warn him. A few moments later you calmly say, "See, I told you you'd break it." It's for just such stoicism that the philosopher Epictetus is remembered. Epictetus was born a slave in Phrygia but came to Rome. Eventually he won his freedom from his crippling, abusive master and left Rome because of Domitian's edict against philosophers. The date of this edict (89) is the only firm date we have for Epictetus, but it is thought he lived from c.55-c.135 A.D. As a stoic, Epictetus thought man should be concerned solely with will, which alone he can control. External events are beyond such control.
