Choice Not Chance Determines Your Destiny

“Choice not chance determines your destiny”

—Aristotle

“Virtue lies in our power, and similarly so does vice; because where it is in our power to act, it is also in our power not to act...”

—Aristotle

“Have more than you show, speak less than you know” —William Shakespeare

“The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way.”

—Heraclitus

“The Only Thing That Is Constant Is Change”

—Heraclitus

“In marriage there must be complete companionship and concern for each other on the part of both husband and wife, in health and in sickness and at all times, because they entered upon the marriage for this reason as well as to produce offspring. When such caring for one another is perfect, and the married couple provide it for one another, and each strives to outdo the other, then this is marriage as it ought to be and deserving of emulation, since it is a noble union. But when one partner looks to his own interests alone and neglects the other's, or (by Zeus) the other is so minded that he lives in the same house, but keeps his mind on what is outside it, and does not wish to pull together with his partner or to cooperate, then inevitably the union is destroyed, and although they live together their common interests fare badly, and either they finally get divorced from one another or they continue on in an existence that is worse than loneliness.”

—Musonius Rufus
