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

June 24th: The truly educated aren't quarrelsome

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

The beautiful and good person neither fights with anyone nor, as much as they are able, permits others to fight... this is the meaning of getting an education— learning what is your own affair and what is not. If a person carries themselves so, where is there any room for fighting? —Epictetus, Discourses, 4.5.1;7b-8a

June 13th: Life is a battlefield

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

Don't you know life is like a military campaign? One must serve on watch, another in reconnaissance, another on 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
