Marcus Aurelius"In matter of writing or reading thou must needs be taught before thou can do either: much more in matter of life."
Epictetus"First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do."
"That to expect bad people not to injure others is crazy. It's to ask the impossible. And to let them behave like that to other people but expect them to exempt you is arrogant—the act of a tyrant."
"For he who is unmusical is a child in music; he who is without letters is a child in learning; he who is untaught, is a child in life."

Daily Stoic 🗿All things are parts of one single system, which is called Nature; the individual life is good when it is in harmony with Nature.
— Zeno of Citum
"The man who is honest and good ought to be exactly like a man who smells strong, so that the bystander as soon as he comes near him must smell whether he choose or not."
