Stoic
It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.
From Richard Mott Gummere, Moral Letters 2 (1917)
He who is brave is free.
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.
Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.
Fire is the test of gold; adversity, of strong people.

Do you ask what is the proper limit to wealth? It is, first, to have what is necessary, and, second, to have what is enough.
No man can have a peaceful life who thinks too much about lengthening it.
For this reason, make life as a whole agreeable to yourself by banishing all worry about it.
