It is good to have a goal, but bad to let your goal have you. Focus is good, but focus that is too narrow becomes blindness.

The Stoic Emperor

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

Ignorance is the cause of fear.

Seneca

The mind unlearns with difficulty what it has long learned.

Seneca

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

Crypto Seneca

Who is your master? Anyone who has control over things upon which you've set your heart, or over things which you seek to avoid.

Epictetus
