Miyamoto Musashi
“Do not seek pleasure for its own sake.”
Miyamoto Musashi

Seneca
“Lives such as yours—how true it is!—though they should exceed
a thousand years, will contract into the smallest span: but those vices
of yours will swallow up any amount of time. This length of time you
have, that reason prolongs, however swift nature makes its sojourn,
is bound to pass quickly through your fingers; for you do not grasp
it, or seek to hold on to it, or try to delay the passing of the swiftest
thing of all, but allow it to depart, as if it were something surplus to
requirement and easily replaced.”
Lucius Annaeus Seneca, On the Shortness of Life

Heraclitus
“The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way.”
Heraclitus

Hippocrates
“Before you heal someone, ask him if he's willing to give up the things that make him sick.”
Hippocrates

Miyamoto Musashi
“You should not have a favorite weapon. To become over-familiar with one weapon is as much a fault as not knowing it sufficiently well. You should not copy others, but use weapons which you can handle properly. It is bad for commanders and troops to have likes and dislikes. These are things you must learn thoroughly.”
Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings
