“No one said life was easy. No one said it would be fair.
Don’t forget, though, that you come from a long, unbroken line of ancestors who survived unimaginable adversity, difficulty, and struggle. It’s their genes and their blood that run through your body right now. Without them, you wouldn’t be here.
You’re an heir to an impressive tradition—and as their viable offspring, you’re capable of what they are capable of. You’re meant for this. Bred for it.
Just something to keep in mind if things get tough.”
― Ryan Holiday, The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living

“You are given the free will, or choices in life; but you must be widely awake to make wise decisions.”

“Opinions are not only actions but often lethal weapons. In all known wars, the opposing sides attack each other’s beliefs and symbols ... The standard that should carry the greatest importance for both the state and the individual is the equal value of all human beings. Every other principle should stem from this.”
― Theodor Kallifatides

“Contrast is the spiritual spice of life. It's a foolish mistake to assume that when the going gets tough, the magic must stop. The darkest, most difficult times are the most powerful for manifesting miracles.”
― Anthon St. Maarten
