3 Epictetus Quotes on Judgment

Epictetus quotes on judgment

17. Men are disturbed, not by things, but by the principles and notions which they form concerning things. (5)

23. Does anyone bathe in a mighty little time? Don't say that he does it ill, but in a mighty little time. Does anyone drink a great quantity of wine? Don't say that he does ill, but that he drinks a great quantity. For, unless you perfectly understand the principle from which anyone acts, how should you know if he acts ill? Thus you will not run the hazard of assenting to any appearances but such as you fully comprehend. (45)

61. Do not give sentence in another tribunal till you have been yourself judged in the tribunal of Justice.
