It is not so much what happens to you as how you think about what happens." Epictetus
It is the nature of the wise to resist pleasures, but the foolish to be a slave to them.
You may fetter my leg, but Zeus himself cannot get the better of my free will.
Have the wisdom to know what cannot be changed, and the strength to change what can.
Difficulties are things that show a person what they are.
At this time is freedom anything but the right to live as we wish? Nothing else.
