#stoic wisdom tradition

“Teach a person one true thing and they might remember it. Show them why it's true and they'll carry it the rest of their life.”

“Anger is just fear with better posture. It fools other people, but it rarely fools you.”

“The body is borrowed. What you do with the time inside it is the only thing that's actually yours.”

“Order your own house before you draw maps for anyone else's.”

“We share the same fears, the same hunger, the same darkness before sleep. Cruelty, then, is always a kind of amnesia.”

“A lie told to protect your comfort is still a crack in the foundation of who you are.”

“Silence is not emptiness. For most people, it would be the wisest thing they've said all week.”
