Think long term. Execute short term. Experience now.

The Stoic Emperor

You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.

Marcus Aurelius

Stoicism is about the domestication of emotions, not their elimination.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.

Epictetus

No great thing is created suddenly.

Epictetus

Today I escaped from the crush of circumstances, or better put, I threw them out, for the crush wasn't from outside me but in my own assumptions.

Marcus Aurelius
