Features: To achieve happiness and freedom, one must understand a principle: some things are within our control, while others are not. Only by acknowledging this fundamental truth and learning to distinguish between what we can and cannot control can we maintain inner peace while being effective in external affairs. — Epictetus

We should fear two kinds of people: one is a powerful enemy, and the other is a treacherous associate. Do not underestimate weaker enemies; treat them as if they were formidable. Do not think they are insignificant. — Al-Mu'izz ibn Abi Amir
The value of a person is like that of a fruit—it has its season. We can appear great in a position below our true worth, but we will seem insignificant in a position above it. — La Rochefoucauld
