September 13th: Protecting our inner fortress from fear

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

No, it is events that give rise to fear — when another has power over them or can prevent them, that person becomes able to inspire fear. How is the fortress destroyed? Not by iron or fire, but by judgments... here is where we must begin, and it is from this front that we must seize the fortress and throw out the tyrants. —Epictetus, Discourses, 4.1.85-86; 87a

September 23rd: The most secure fortress

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

Remember that your ruling reason becomes unconquerable when it rallies and relies on itself, so that it won't do anything contrary to its own will, even if its position is irrational. How much more unconquerable if its judgments are careful and made rationally? Therefore, the mind freed from passions is an impenetrable fortress — a person has no more secure place of refuge for all time. — Marcus Aurelius, Meditations,8.48
