“Books are the training weights of the mind.”
The Art of Living • Epictetus“Pride is an established conviction of one's own paramount worth in some particular respect, while vanity is the desire of rousing such a conviction in others, and it is generally accompanied by the secret hope of ultimately coming to the same conviction oneself. Pride works from within; it is the direct appreciation of oneself. Vanity is the desire to arrive at this appreciation indirectly, from without.”
Parerga and Paralipomena • Arthur Schopenhauer“ Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.”
Atomic Habits • James Clear“There is nothing that so raises a young man's self-esteem, that so contributes to the formation of his character as for him to find himself unexpectedly confronted with a task which he has to accomplish entirely on his own initiative and by his own efforts.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“To live each day as though one's last, never flustered, never apathetic, never attitudinizing – here is perfection of character.”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius
