A idade 

Durante a consulta, o médico passa por todos os resultados das análises.

 O comentário repete-se a cada linha: "bom valor, não há sinal de cancro; bom valor, não há sinal de cancro; bom valor, não há sinal de cancro".

 Acho que isto diz qualquer coisa sobre o que se pode esperar no futuro.

Rezar 

"Marcus clearly believed in the efficacy of prayer, not as a means of influencing or changing destiny (no Stoic model of the universe admits that possibility), but as collaboration with god in the achievement of moral progress".

Note to Marcus Aurelius, The meditations

Calma 

"... there is nothing manly in being angry, but a gentle calm is both more human and therefore more virile. It is the gentle who have strength, sinew, and courage - not the indignant and complaining.
The closer to control of emotion, the closer to power.
Anger is as much a sign of weakness as is pain."

Marcus Aurelius, The meditations

Ter propósito 

"The Whole is either a god - then all is well: or if purposeless - some sort of random arrangement of atoms or molecules - you should not be without purpose yourself".

Another one for the portfolio 

"In the midst of showering, I realize I've been using the same bar of soap for about a month now.

From this I conclude that I am either a) in the midst of a Hanukkah-type miracle;
or b) simply not scrubbing hard enough.

There have been many failures in my life. Now I can add 'showering' to the portfolio".
