Marcus Aurelius
“That all is as thinking makes it so – and you control your thinking. So remove your judgements whenever you wish and then there is calm - as the sailor rounding the cape finds smooth water and the welcome of a waveless bay.”
Marcus Aurelius

Chris Avellone
“To believe in an ideal, is to be willing to betray it. It is something no Sith or Jedi has ever truly learned.

-- Kreia, KOTOR 2”
Chris Avellone

Epictetus
“Seek at once, therefore, to be able to say to every unpleasing semblance, “You are but a semblance and by no means the real thing.” And then examine it by those rules which you have; and first and chiefly by this: whether it concerns the things which are within our own power or those which are not; and if it concerns anything beyond our power, be prepared to say that it is nothing to you.”
Epictetus, The Enchiridion

Marcus Aurelius
“It is my bad luck that this has happened to me.' No, you should rather say: 'It is my good luck that, although this has happened to me, I can bear it without pain, neither crushed by the present nor fearful of the future.' Because such a thing could have happened to any man, but not every man could have borne it without pain. So why see more misfortune in the event than good fortune in your ability to bear it?”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“Plans are fragile things, and life often dashes expectations to the ground.”
Kriea/Darth Traya
