There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.

Epictetus

Fate leads the willing, and drags along the reluctant.

Seneca

The human condition is a good one in that no one is unhappy except by his own fault.

Seneca

Night brings our troubles to the light, rather than banishes them.

Seneca

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

For it is in your power to retire into yourself whenever you choose.

Marcus Aurelius
