Seneca
“Where you arrive does not matter as much as what sort of person you are when you arrive there.”
Seneca, Letters from a Stoic

“Questioning our own motives, and our own process, is critical to a skeptical and scientific outlook. We must realize that the default mode of human psychology is to grab onto comforting beliefs for purely emotional reasons, and then justify those beliefs to ourselves with post-hoc rationalizations." - Steven Novella”
Steven Novella

Mokokoma Mokhonoana
“The mind is inclined to zoom in on your problem, or few problems, to an extend that you cannot see your many blessings.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana

Epictetus
“If someone in the street were entrusted with your body, you would be furious. Yet you entrust your mind to anyone around who happens to insult you, and allow it to be troubled and confused. Aren’t you ashamed of that?”
Epictetus, Enchiridion

Mokokoma Mokhonoana
“Growth is often the parent or the child of pain.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana
