Quotes I've found interesting

Quotes about stoicism, software development, personal development or just whatever I wanted to remember.

Let us strive to be worthy of appreciation but indifferent to whether we get it.

Ryan Holiday,   Daily Stoic Email

I consider myself to be a man of principle. But, what man does not? Even the cutthroat, I have noticed, considers his actions "moral" after a fashion.

Brandon Sanderson,   Mistborn

A very small part of an historical piece of fiction I stumbled upon: the hero goes through a prison. He crosses path with a very secondary character locked behind bars that say to him: "Hero, I envy you to go on adventures while I rot here in prison with a life sentence. I deserved it but now my life is useless, I'll spend it here in this small cell, there's no point to it." Poor man. He can't have a family, accumulate wealth or be useful to his community. The hero then tranquillises him: "Don't worry friend, because even in prison you can still practice and live a virtuous life."
