Calm isn’t the absence of chaos, but mastery over it.
Marcus Aurelius Meditations 2.11: You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say.
Stoicism isn’t for museums—it’s for streets.

Share your struggle and halve its weight.
Control your breath, and the world stops shaking you.
Knowledge without action is a ship without oars.
Epictetus Enchiridion 1: Some things are within our power, while others are not.
