Epictetus
“Any person capable of angering you becomes your master;
he can anger you only when you permit yourself to be disturbed by him.”
Epictetus

Dalai Lama XIV
“Joy is the happiness that does not depend on what happens. It is the grateful response to the opportunity that life offers you at this moment.”
Dalai Lama XIV, The Book of Joy

Mother Teresa
“These are the few ways we can practice humility:

To speak as little as possible of one's self.

To mind one's own business.

Not to want to manage other people's affairs.

To avoid curiosity.

To accept contradictions and correction cheerfully.

To pass over the mistakes of others.

To accept insults and injuries.

To accept being slighted, forgotten and disliked.

To be kind and gentle even under provocation.

Never to stand on one's dignity.

To choose always the hardest.”
Mother Teresa, The Joy in Loving: A Guide to Daily Living

Plato
“The object of education is to teach us to love what is beautiful.”
Plato, The Republic

Flannery O'Connor
“So many people can now write competent stories that the short story is in danger of dying of competence.”
Flannery O'Connor
