"'Tell me what to do!' What advice could I possibly give? No, a far better request is, 'Train my mind
to adapt to any circumstance.' ... in this way, if circumstances take you off script...you won't be desperate for a new prompting."
- Epictetus

[DeadGuyQuotes @deadguyquotes]

Throw out your conceited opinions, for it is impossible for a person to begin to learn what he thinks he already knows.

Political promises have shelf-lives.
Relationships have half-lives.

First off, don't let the force of the impression carry you away. Say to it, "hold up a bit and let me see who you are and where you are from" - let me put you to the test.

Fight to remain the person that philosophy wished to make you.

- Marcus Aurelius

[DeadGuyQuotes @deadguyquotes]

"Don't return to philosophy as a task-master, but as patients seek out relief in a treatment of sore
eyes, or a dressing for a burn, or from an ointment. Regarding it this way, you'll obey reason without
putting it on display and rest easy in its care."
Marcus Aurelius

[DeadGuyQuotes @deadguyquotes]

If you wish to improve be content to appear clueless or stupid in extraneous matters- don't wish
to seem knowledgeable.
- Epictetus

[DeadGuyQuotes @deadguyquotes]

I will keep constant watch over myself and ... will put each day up for review. For this is what makes us evil - that none of us look back upon our own lives. We reflect upon only that which we are about to do. & yet our plans for the future descend from the past. - Seneca

[DeadGuyQuotes @deadguyquotes]

A person who doesn't know what the universe is, doesn't know where they are. A person who doesn't know their purpose in life doesn't know who they are or what the universe is. A person who doesn't know any of these things doesn't know why they are here.
- Marcus Aurelius
