Ryan Holiday, The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations on Wisdom Perseverance and Art of Living
We must give up many things to which we are addicted, considering them to be good. Otherwise, courage will vanish, which should continually test itself. Greatness of soul will be lost, which can't stand out unless it disdains as petty what the mob regards as most desirable. — Seneca, Moral Letters, 74:12b-13
Ryan Holiday, The 366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living
Here's a way to think about what the masses regard as being 'good' things. If you would first start by setting your mind upon things that are unquestionably good- wisdom, self-control, justice, courage- with this preconception you'll no longer be able to listen to the popular refrain that there are too many good things to experience in a lifetime. ~Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 5.12
