August 27th: Laugh, or cry

Ryan Holiday, The 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living

Heraclitus would shed tears whenever he went out in public — Democritus laughed. One saw the whole as a parade of miseries, the other follies. And so, we should take a lighter view of things and bear them with an easy spirit, for it is more human to laugh at life than to lament it. — Seneca, On Tranquility of Mind, 15.2

July 17th: Don't abandon others... or yourself

Ryan Holiday, The 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living

As you move forward along the path of reason people will stand in your way. They will never be able to keep you from doing what's sound, so don't let them knock out your goodwill for them. Keep a steady watch on both fronts, not only for well-based judgments and actions, but also for gentleness with those who would obstruct our path or create other difficulties. For getting angry is also a weakness, just as much as abandoning the task or surrendering under panic. For doing either is an equal desertion — the one by shrinking back and the other by estrangement from family and friend. — Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 11.9
