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

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

Dan Crenshaw
“Acceptance for what you truly can’t control, but responsibility for what you can control. The Stoic does not believe in categorizing so many things as ‘outside your control’ that you simply become a victim of circumstance. Far more is within your control than you might think.”
Dan Crenshaw, Fortitude: American Resilience in the Era of Outrage

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

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
