How to Build A Strong Mind | STOIC PHILOSOPHY
- Plutarch said that Cato, an influential Roman senator and Stoic, would wear clothes that were unfashionable in order to, quote, accustom himself to be ashamed only of what deserves shame and to despise all other sorts of disgrace. If you can learn to live without the approval of others, especially in minor things such as fashion, you will be better prepared to do it when it becomes a necessity, such as when you need to speak an unfashionable truth to power.

The Real Reason We Work So Hard
- We work so hard because we are in terror of stillness, because being scared of the world offers the most respectable distraction from a dread of our own minds, because we have no idea how to let anyone know us outside of our achievements, because it seems inconceivable that we have any value beyond what we do, because we were early on in the art of being terrified and we are still too young to question our elders, because we use the noise from without to drown the murmurs from within, because we can't read poetry for we despise anything that doesn't have a charted purpose or goal and that therefore threatens to collide us with the unexpected, because we don't allow ourselves to be acquainted with the night, because if we started with the questions we have no idea where we might have to go and what might need to be discarded, because we are in flight from untenable sadness and regret, because we haven't got too many or even any real friends, because few people ever just held us quietly, because we have no idea what to do with ourselves other than run, because we find peace so much harder than war and because the real work might lie elsewhere.
