Good sides to adversity are best admired at a distance.
– Seneca

Nothing truly stops you. Nothing truly holds you back. For your own will is always within your control.
-Epictetus

It is difficulties that show what men are. For the future, in case of any difficulty, remember that God, like a gymnastic trainer, has pitted you against a rough antagonist. For what end? That you may be an Olympic conqueror; and this cannot be without toil.
-Epictetus

A man’s worth is no greater than his ambitions.

-Marcus Aurelius

Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever are our own actions. Things not in our control are body, property, reputation, command, and, in one word, whatever are not our own actions.
-Epictetus

Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens.
-Epictetus

I seek the truth… it is only persistence in self-delusion and ignorance that does harm.
-Marcus Aurelius

I would rather be sick than idle.
– Seneca

Be like the rocky headland on which the waves constantly break. It stands firm, and round it the seething waters are laid to rest.
-Marcus Aurelius

Submit to the fate of your own free will.
-Marcus Aurelius
