108 AD·Nicopolis, Greece
Marcus Aurelius·180 ADNowhere you can go is more peaceful — more free of interruptions — than your own soul.
Miyamoto Musashi·1645Accept everything just the way it is.
Seneca·65 ADIt is to this law that our souls must adjust themselves, this they should follow, this they should obey. Whatever happens, assume that it was bound to happen, and do not be willing to rail at Nature. That which you cannot reform, it is best to endure, and to attend uncomplainingly upon the God under whose guidance everything progresses; for it is a bad soldier who grumbles when following his commander.
It is not things that disturb us, but our judgments about things. For example, death is nothing terrible, for if it were, it would have appeared so to Socrates; but the judgment that death is terrible — that is the terrible thing.
Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.
Only the educated are free.
