Epictetus
Progress is not achieved by luck or accident, but by working on yourself daily.
Epictetus
I laugh at those who think they can damage me. They do not know who I am, they do not know what I think, they cannot even touch the things which are really mine and with which I live.
Epictetus
If you seek Truth, you will not seek to gain a victory by every possible means and when you have found Truth, you need not fear being defeated.
Epictetus
You become what you give your attention to...If you yourself don't choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will, and their motives may not be the highest.

Dare to look up to God and say, Deal with me in the future as Thou wilt I am of the same mind as Thou art I am Thine I refuse nothing that pleases Thee lead me where Thou wilt clothe me in any dress Thou choosest.
Epictetus
