You want to live - but do you know how to live? You are scared of dying - and, tell me, is the kind of life you lead really any different from being dead?

Seneca

The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.

Marcus Aurelius

A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.

Michel de Montaigne

Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.

Marcus Aurelius

He who is brave is free.

Seneca

Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever are our own actions.

Epictetus
