- “Every difficulty in life presents us with an opportunity to turn inward and to invoke our own inner resources. The trails we endure can and should introduce us to our strengths. Prudent people look beyond the incident itself and seek to form the habit of putting it to good use.

You possess strengths you might not realize you have. Find the right one. Use it.” -Epictetus
- "Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one." -Marcus Aurelius.
