Is your life particularly hard lately? Looking to up your mental endurance?
Stoicism!

- "The wise man will not be angry with sinners. Why not? Because he knows that no one is born wise, but becomes so: he knows that very few wise men are produced in any age, because he thoroughly understands the circumstances of human life."
- "Who can boast that he has his passions under control, when Socrates did not dare to trust himself to his anger?"
- “… do not strike when anger bids them, but when opportunity invites them."
Recommended by General James Mattis:
- "How much trouble he avoids who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks, but only to what he does himself, that it may be just and pure; or as Agathon says, look not round at the depraved morals of others, but run straight along the line without deviating from it."
- "The end of fame is oblivion."

Friedrich Nietzsche - Wikisource, the free online library

- "Creating—that is the great salvation from suffering, and life’s alleviation. But for the creator to appear, suffering itself is needed, and much transformation."
- "What does it matter if ye have failed? How many things are still possible!"
- "You call yourself free? Let me hear your ruling thoughts, and not that you have escaped bondage. Are you one who deserved to escape from it? There are many who threw away their only worth when they threw away their servitude. Free from what? Why should Zarathustra care? Your eyes should answer plainly: free for what?"
- "With the help of the morality of custom and the social straight jacket, the human being was made truly predictable."
- "Weakness is going to be falsified into something of merit. There's no doubt about it."
- "Who among them could endure even one truth about human beings? Or to ask the question more precisely, 'who among them could bear a true biography?'"
- "Because for the majority of the dying, the weak, the downtrodden of all sorts, it makes possible that sublime self deception which establishes weakness itself as freedom, and their being like this or that as meritorious."
- "That every will must consider every other will its equal - would be a principle hostile to life, an agent of the dissolution and destruction of man, an attempt to assassinate the future of man, a sign of weariness, a secret path to nothingness."
- "What was needed was little more than the minor art of changing names and re-christening, so as to make those people in the future see a favor, some relative good fortune, in things they hated."
