“As long as the sun smiles above us our hopes will always blossom.”
― Atalay Aydın

“Reflect that nothing merits admiration except the
spirit, the impressiveness of which prevents it from being impressed by anything.”
― Seneca, Letters from a Stoic

“Any person capable of angering you becomes your master; he can anger you only when you permit yourself to be disturbed by him.”
― Epictetus

“Let whatever appears to be the best be to you an inviolable law. And if any instance of pain or pleasure, glory or disgrace, be set before you, remember that now is the combat, now the Olympiad comes on, nor can it be put off; and that by one failure and defeat honor may be lost or—won.”
― Epictetus, Enchiridion
