🏛️ Stoicism

"Some things are in our control and others not."

"Don't demand or expect that events happen as you would wish them to."

"You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think."

"Waste no more time arguing what a good person should be. Be one."

"No man is more unhappy than he who never faces adversity. For he is not permitted to prove himself."

"It is not that we have a short space of time, but that we waste much of it."

"Set aside a certain number of days during which you shall be content with the scantiest fare, saying to yourself: 'Is this the condition that I feared?'"

"Lead me, O Zeus, and thou, Destiny, wherever you have assigned me. I shall follow unflinchingly..."

"If you admit that we ought to philosophize, you must not merely agree verbally but must also be willing to act upon it."

"We should draw the outer circles closer to the center, treating even those who are most remote as if they were our relatives, our friends, our children."
