“How long will you put off demanding the best of yourself? When will you use reason to decide what is best? You now know the principles. You claim to understand them. Then why aren’t you putting these principles into practice?”
Chuck Chakrapani, The Good Life Handbook: Epictetus' Stoic Classic Enchiridion

Ray Dalio
“In thoughtful disagreement, both parties are motivated by the genuine fear of missing important perspectives.”
Ray Dalio, Principles: Life and Work

William B. Irvine
“This is because the desire for luxuries is not a natural desire. Natural desires, such as a desire for water when we are thirsty, can be satisfied; unnatural desires cannot.12 Therefore, when we find ourselves wanting something, we should pause to ask whether the desire is natural or unnatural, and if it is unnatural, we should think twice about trying to satisfy it.”
William B. Irvine, A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy

Viktor E. Frankl
“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

Timothy Ferriss
“Often, all that stands between you and what you want is a better set of questions.”
Timothy Ferriss, Tribe Of Mentors: Transformative Wisdom From Icons and Innovators to Help You Navigate Life's Challenges
