He who is brave is free.

Seneca

No man is free who is not master of himself.

Epictetus

Reaction is the enemy of creation. Creation requires deep sustained focus. This focus is under constant attack by "notifications" that encourage you to respond to unending false emergencies. Protect your attention and direct it to where it is most valuable.

The Stoic Emperor

Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.

Thomas Jefferson

Accept who you are. Unless you're a serial killer.

Ellen DeGeneres

The willing are led by fate, the reluctant dragged.

Cleanthes
