Misfortune is virtue's opportunity.

Seneca

How do some achieve what many desire? They seek the best teachers. They sacrifice. They delay gratification. They see the world as it is, not as they wish it to be. They revise their theories. They resist distraction. They watch the right metrics. They avoid costly drama.

The Stoic Emperor

Another person will not hurt you without your cooperation. You are hurt the moment you believe yourself to be.

Epictetus

Contentment comes not so much from great wealth as from few wants.

Epictetus

Peace must be found in the imperfect present.

The Stoic Emperor

No state is so bitter than a calm mind cannot find in it some consolation.

Seneca
