It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.
Waste no more time arguing about what a good person should be. Be one.
MA Marcus AureliusRoman emperor & Stoic · 121–180Wat dit citaat betekent

Context
Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher whose private notebook, Meditations, remains a handbook for steady living.
