This article lists the best Daily Stoic quotes I found in the book. You’ll find several inspirational stoic quotes on resilience, control and self-improvement.

1) Identify and separate matters not under you control and the choices you actually control.

2) The circle of control contains just one thing: Your Mind. You don't control the situation, but you can control what you think about it.

3) Just begin the work, the rest follows.

4) The more things we desire and the more we have to do to earn those achievements, the less we actually enjoy our lives.

5) A real man doesn't give way to anger and discontent. We should be the ones in control, not our emotions.

6) Impulses of all kinds are going to come, and your work is to control them. Think before you act.

7) The next time you find yourself in the middle of a freakout – moaning and groaning, or crying tears – just ask: Is this actually making me feel better?

31) Don't seek for everything to happen as you wish it would, but rather wish that everything happens as it actually will.

32) Let the news come when it does. Be too busy working to care. Even the most unfortunate events can turn out to be for the best.

33) Pretend that each event – whether desired or unexpected – was willed to happen, willed specifically for you.

34) Remember today that you'd be OK if things suddenly went wrong. The order and the peace might be interrupted. OK. Get a hold of yourself and find your way back.
