Oscar Wilde
“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.”
Oscar Wilde

Bauvard
“There are lots of things sons shouldn’t imagine about their mothers, above all what it was like to become one.”
Bauvard, The Prince Of Plungers

Seneca
“Limiting one’s desires actually helps to cure one of fear. ‘Cease to hope … and you will cease to fear.’ … Widely different [as fear and hope] are, the two of them march in unison like a prisoner and the escort he is handcuffed to. Fear keeps pace with hope … both belong to a mind in suspense, to a mind in a state of anxiety through looking into the future. Both are mainly due to projecting our thoughts far ahead of us instead of adapting ourselves to the present.”
Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Letters from a Stoic

Seneca
“Regard [a friend] as loyal, and you will make him loyal.”
Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Letters from a Stoic

Anthon St. Maarten
“Patience is the antidote to the restless poison of the Ego. Without it we all become ego-maniacal bulls in china shops, destroying our future happiness as we blindly rush in where angels fear to tread. In these out-of-control moments, we bulldoze through the best possible outcomes for our lives, only to return to the scene of the crime later to cry over spilt milk.”
Anthon St. Maarten, Divine Living: The Essential Guide To Your True Destiny
