We should not moor a ship with one anchor, or our life with one hope.
From Epictetus
There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
No man is free who is not master of himself.
Imagine for yourself a character, a model personality, whose example you determine to follow, in private as well as in public.
The greater the difficulty the more glory in surmounting it. Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests.
Is freedom anything else than the right to live as we wish? Nothing else.
Whoever does not regard what he has as most ample wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world.
Freedom is not procured by a full enjoyment of what is desired, but by controlling the desire.
You are a little soul carrying around a corpse.
Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens.
