Epictetus
“Freedom is not achieved by satisfying desire, but by eliminating it. Assure yourself of this by expending as much effort on these new ambitions as you did on those elusive goals. Work day and night to obtain a liberated frame of mind. Instead of a rich old man, cultivate the company of a philosopher. Be seen hanging around his door for a change. There’s no shame in the association, and you won’t go away unedified or empty-handed, provided you go with the right attitude. Try, at least - There in no shame in making an honest effort.”
Epictetus, Discourses and Selected Writings

Peter Attia
“One macronutrient, in particular, demands more of our attention than most people realize: not carbs, not fat, but protein becomes critically important as we age.”
Peter Attia MD, Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity

“The most entertaining outcome is the most likely.”
Elon Musk

Maimonides
“Accept the truth from whatever source it comes.”
Moses Maimonides

“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”
Jiddu Krisnamurti
