“To be like the rock that the waves keep crashing over. It stands unmoved and the raging of the sea falls still around it.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius““My father used to say that one of the great offences of sham politeness was the neglect of promises. When anything is demanded of you that you cannot do, refuse positively and leave no loopholes for false hopes; on the other hand, grant at once whatever you are willing to bestow.””
