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

Epictetus

A willingness to be wrong in conversation can help you avoid being wrong in a costlier arena. Better to lose an argument than a fortune, or a war.

The Stoic Emperor

The crowds poison, too much time and you end up like them. Retreat to yourself. The only safe place.

Crypto Seneca

Outward action and inner calm.

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

Nobody learns what he can do except by trying.

Seneca
