Epictetus, Greek Stoic philosopher:
“He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those that he has.”

John Steinbeck, Nobel Prize-winning novelist, in East of Eden:
“And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual. This is what I am and what I am about. I can understand why a system built on a pattern must try to destroy the free mind, for that is the one thing which by inspection destroys such a system. Surely I can understand this, and I hate it, and I will fight against it to preserve the one thing that separates us from the uncreative beasts. If that glory can be killed, we are lost.”
Mahatma Gandhi, political and spiritual leader of India and the Indian independence movement and advocate of non-violent civil protest (ahimsa):
“The outward freedom that we shall attain will only be in exact proportion to the inward freedom to which we may have grown at a given moment. And if this is a correct view of freedom, our chief energy must be concentrated on achieving reform from within.”
