Seneca
“Hence, the wise man accustoms himself to coming trouble, lightening by long reflection the evils which others lighten by long endurance. We sometimes hear the inexperienced say: "I knew that this was in store for me." But the wise man knows that all things are in store fore him. Whatever happens, he says: "I knew it.”
Seneca, Letters from a Stoic

Seneca
“No one dies except on his own day. You are throwing away none of your own time; for what you leave behind does not belong to you.”
Seneca, Letters from a Stoic

Ray Bradbury
“Or maybe he means in a richer world the begging population is melting away. But no to that too. So maybe, perhaps, he means there aren't many 'human beings' left to look, see, and understand well enough for one to ask and one to give. Everyone busy, running, jumping, there's no time to study one another. But I guess that's bilge and hogwash, slop and sentiment.”
Ray Bradbury

Marcus Tullius Cicero
“There is, I assure you, a medical art for the soul. It is philosophy, whose aid need not be sought, as in bodily diseases, from outside ourselves. We must endeavor with all our resources and all our strength to become capable of doctoring ourselves.”
Cicero

Epicurus
“The time when you should most of all withdraw into yourself is when you are forced to be in a crowd.”
Epicurus
