Epictetus
“Don't just say you have read books. Show that through them you have learned to think better, to be a more discriminating and reflective person. Books are the training weights of the mind. They are very helpful, but it would be a bad mistake to suppose that one has made progress simply by having internalized their contents.”
Epictetus, The Art of Living: The Classical Manual on Virtue, Happiness and Effectiveness

Nick Bostrom
“Our coherent extrapolated volition is our wish if we knew more, thought faster, were more the people we wished we were, had grown up farther together; where the extrapolation converges rather than diverges, where our wishes cohere rather than interfere; extrapolated as we wish that extrapolated, interpreted as we wish that interpreted”
Nick Bostrom, Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies

“Everybody has some unpleasant experiences in their lives.
People say things we don’t want to hear. People do things we don’t want them to do.
People don’t appreciate us, love us, praise us.
People go away when we want them to stay. People stay when we would like them to go away.
It happens to everyone.”
Ayya Khema, Being Nobody, Going Nowhere: Meditations on the Buddhist Path

Epictetus
“Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.”
Epictetus

Epictetus
“Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever are our own actions. Things not in our control are body, property, reputation, command, and, in one word, whatever are not our actions. The things in our control are by nature free, unrestrained, unhindered; but those not in our control are weak, slavish, restrained, belonging to others. Remember, then, that if you suppose that things which are slavish by nature are also free, and that what belongs to others is your own, then you will be hindered. You will lament, you will be disturbed, and you will find fault both with gods and men. But if you suppose that only to be your own which is your own, and what belongs to others such as it really is, then no one will ever compel you or restrain you. Further, you will find fault with no one or accuse no one. You will do nothing against your will. No one will hurt you, you will have no enemies, and you not be harmed.”
Epictetus, Enchiridion and Selections from the Discourses
