Here are some of my favourite quotes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“I do what is mine to do; the rest does not disturb me”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marcus Aurelius<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is my favourite for work – ignore all the politics and gossip. Just make a list of what you need to do and do it. Adjust it if necessary but keep calm, prioritise and get on with it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“…do the right thing. The rest doesn’t matter. Cold or warm. Tired or well rested. Despised or honoured”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marcus Aurelius<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do the right thing, don’t be conflicted about what to do and don’t feel bitter or victimised if doing the right thing has consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“Be Tolerant with other, strict with yourself”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marcus Aurelius<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a great quote. It is much better for your mental health and leaves you less frustrated if you accept that people are a product of their environment and their genes. Like Ram Dass said, they’re like trees:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Ram Dass (not really a stoic but his quote fits with the one above)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At the same time – be strict with yourself – don’t make any excuses, and don’t blame others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The nearer a man comes to a calm mind, the closer he is to strength<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marcus Aurelius<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can seem like power to be angry and bad tempered, but is weakness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\"socrates\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

i am the wisest man alive for i know one thing and that is that i know nothing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Socrates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make learning a lifelong habit and past time. Don’t be arrogant enough to think that you know better or more than other people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“happiness and freedom begin with a clear understanding, some things are within our control and some things are not”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
