Quotes I've found interesting

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

It is fortune, not wisdom, that rules man's life.

Marcus Tullius Cicero,   AZ Quotes

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."

Deliberately designing one’s life isn’t only possible. It’s imperative.

A Stoic thinks, acts, and then accepts. They do not dream, expect and wait.  Because they are not entitled, naive children.
