Title: Great Stoic quotes to absorb before Thanksgiving to stave off a war at the table

Just simply wonderful quotes from the ancients that never ever go out of date.  The Greeks and the Romans really really really had things figure out.  I revere much of their philosophy and intellect.  Of course Nietzsche isn't half bad either.  But all those that came later stand on the shoulders of all that came before.
Enjoy, those who seek to listen.

Well yes until they both crashed, but that's a little detail?  ;D

Every empire crashes sooner or later. That doesn't detract from the wisdom distilled during the zenith of their power.

This is what Marcus said on thanksgiving

Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.
Marcus Aurelius

HERE WE GO!

This is what Gladiator has done to everyone. I've got everyone quoting Marcus Aurelius at me.

Is Connie Nielsen going to shoot them at me too?

So I meet the future by suddenly running into a telephone pole? Give it a rest Professor.
