Stoic
When a man does not know what harbour he is making for, no wind is the right wind.
From Richard Mott Gummere, Moral Letters 71 (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.

Let us see to it that the recollection of those whom we have lost becomes a pleasant memory to us.
Let not the eyes be dry when we have lost a friend, nor let them overflow. We may weep, but we must not wail.
He suffers more than is necessary, who suffers before it is necessary.
