"'Best,' to the Stoics, did not mean winning battles. Superior did not mean accumulating the most honors. It meant, as it still does today, virtue. It meant excellence not in accomplishing external things - though that was always nice if fate allowed - but excellence in the areas that you controlled: Your thoughts. Your actions. Your choices." - Ryan Holiday & Stephen Hanselman, Lives of the Stoics: The Art of Living from Zeno to Marcus Aurelius
