“To attain the sanctum regnum, in other words, the knowledge and power of the Magi, there are four indispensable conditions–an intelligence illuminated by study, an intrepidity which nothing can check, a will which cannot be broken, and a prudence which nothing can corrupt and nothing intoxicate.

“If you are ever tempted to look for outside approval, realize that you have compromised your integrity. If you need a witness, be your own.”
― Epictetus

“Those who suppose they have found truth are called Dogmatists; those who think it incomprehensible are the Academics; those who still seek are the Skeptics.”
