The height of unhappiness is reached, when men are not only attracted, but even pleased, by shameful things, and when there is no longer any room for a cure, now that those things which once were vices have become habits.

-Seneca

[Philosophize4me @philosophize4me]

"You will desire eagerly to be one of them yourself, for this is the most excellent quality that the noble soul has within itself, that it can be roused to honourable things."

- Seneca

"Pick up the list of the philosophers; that very act will compel you to wake up, when you see how many have been working for your benefit."

- Seneca

It’s not what you wear — it’s how you wear it.

[Philosophize4me @philosophize4me]

"See to it that all your actions and words harmonize and correspond with each other and are stamped in the same mould. If a man's acts are out of harmony, his soul is crooked."

- Seneca

A task once begun is half done.

Hence it is that the larger part of goodness is the will to become good.

- Seneca

[Philosophize4me @philosophize4me]

"Shall I not follow in the footsteps of my predecessors? I shall indeed use the old road, but if I find one that makes a shorter cut and is smoother to travel, I shall open the new road. Men who have made these discoveries before us are not our masters, but our guides."

- Seneca

It is the timeless symbol of Stoicism—the lone knight fighting a war they cannot hope to win, but fighting bravely and honorably nonetheless.

Love regardless the outcome.

[Philosophize4me @philosophize4me]

Love is uncertain.
It's risky and leaves us emotionally exposed.

But can you imagine your life without the courage to love or be loved?

- Brene Brown

[Philosophize4me @philosophize4me]

"Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it's having the courage to show up asked be seen when we have no control over the outcome. Vulnerability is not weakness; it's our greatest measure of courage."

Seneca

"Men do not care how nobly they live, but only how long, although it is within the reach of every man to live nobly, but within no man's power to live long."

"Put your ego on the shelf and remember, love yourself"

-Logic

[Philosophize4me @philosophize4me]

The stoics had some ideas about hope.

[Philosophize4me @philosophize4me]

"The man who is provoked by the hope of anything, though it be within reach, though it be easy of access, and though his ambitions have never played him false, is troubled and unsure of himself."

Seneca
