When a man is proud because he can understand and explain the writings of Chrysippus, say to yourself, 'if Chrysippus had not written obscurely, this man would have had nothing to be proud of.'

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

We are not disturbed by what happens to us, but by our thoughts about what happens to us.

We tell lies, yet it is easy to show that lying is immoral.

Let no man think that he is loved by any who loveth none.

At this time is freedom anything but the right to live as we wish? Nothing else.

Seek not good from without; seek it within yourselves, or you will never find it.
