Letters from a Stoic

We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.

Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.

Associate with people who make you better.

If you really want to escape the things that harass you, what you're needing is not to be in a different place but to be a different person.

Life is like a play: it's not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters.

Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness.

He who is brave is free.

If you wish to be loved, love.

Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.

The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow and loses today.
