Epictetus"When you close your doors, and make darkness within, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not alone; nay, God is within, and your genius is within. And what need have they of light to see what you are doing?"
Marcus Aurelius"The nature of the universe is the nature of things that are. Now, things that are have kinship with things that are from the beginning. Further, this nature is styled Truth; and it is the first cause of all that is true."
Seneca the Younger"[Mucius] might have accomplished something more successful in that camp, but never anything more brave."
Stoic Teacher

"Reason is not measured by size or height, but by principle."
"Men exist for the sake of one another. Teach them then or bear with them."
"Mucius put his hand into the fire. It is painful to be burned; but how much more painful to inflict such suffering upon oneself!"
"In a word, neither death, nor exile, nor pain, nor anything of this kind is the real cause of our doing or not doing any action, but our inward opinions and principles."
