Stoic
I feel, my dear Lucilius, that I am being not only reformed, but transformed.
From Richard Mott Gummere, Moral Letters 6 (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.

Welcome those whom you yourself can improve. The process is mutual; for men learn while they teach.
Above all, my dear Lucilius, make this your business: learn how to feel joy.
When a man does not know what harbour he is making for, no wind is the right wind.
