EACH THE MASTER OF THEIR OWN DOMAIN
“My reasoned choice is as indifferent to the reasoned choice of my neighbor, as to his breath and body. However, much we’ve been made for cooperation, the ruling reason in each of us is master of its own affairs. If this weren’t the case, the evil in someone else could become my harm, and God didn’t mean for someone else to control my life.”

PREPARED AND ACTIVE
“Let Fate find us prepared and active. Here is the great soul – the one who surrenders to Fate. The opposite is the weak and degenerate one, who struggles with and has a poor regard for the order of the world, and seeks to correct the faults of the gods rather than their own.” - Seneca, MORAL LETTERS, 107.12

LIFE IS A BATTLEFIELD
“Don’t you know life is like any military campaign? One must serve on watch, another in reconnaissance, another in the front line… So it is for us - each person’s life is a kind of battle, and a long and varied one too. You must keep watch like a soldier and do everything commanded… You have been stationed in a key post, not some lowly place, and not for a short time but for life.” - Epictetus, DISCOURSES, 3.24.31-36

A TRAINED MIND IS BETTER THAN ANY SCRIPT
“In this way, you must understand how laughable it is to say, ‘Tell me what to do!’ What advice could I possibly give? No, a far better request is, ‘Train my mind to adapt to any circumstance.’ … In this way, if circumstances take you off script… You won’t be desperate for a new prompting.” - Epictetus, DISCOURSES, 2.2.20b-1;24b-25a
