“Protect what belongs to you at all costs; don't desire what belongs to another.”
― Epictetus, Discourses and Selected Writings

“Respond to negative thoughts as you would to small children who do not know any better; simply smile and show them a better way to be.”
― Sanaya Roman, Creating Money: Attracting Abundance

“Remember to act always as if you were at a symposium. When the food or drink comes around, reach out and take some politely; if it passes you by don't try pulling it back. And if it has not reached you yet, don't let your desire run ahead of you, be patient until your turn comes. Adopt a similar attitude with regard to children, wife, wealth and status, and in time, you will be entitled to dine with the gods. Go further and decline these goods even when they are on offer and you will have a share in the gods' power as well as their company. That is how Diogenes, Heraclitus and philosophers like them came to be called, and considered, divine.”
― Epictetus, The Art of Living: The Classical Manual on Virtue, Happiness and Effectiveness
