Zeno of Citium
“When a dog is tied to a cart, if it wants to follow, it is pulled and follows, making its spontaneous act coincide with necessity. But if the dog does not follow, it will be compelled in any case. So it is with men too: even if they don't want to, they will be compelled to follow what is destined.”
Zeno of Citium

Yamamoto Tsunetomo
“[...] if one seeks to resolve a problem, let it sit for a while, take time to think about the “Four Oaths” and subdue any self-centered thoughts, and then you will be able to proceed without faltering.”
Yamamoto Tsunetomo, Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai

“Discomfort is the price of admission to a meaningful life”
Susan David

Yamamoto Tsunetomo
“If by setting one's heart right every morning and evening, one is able to live as though his body were already dead, he pains freedom in the Way. His whole life will be without blame, and he will succeed in his calling.”
Yamamoto Tsunetomo, Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai

Arvo Pärt
