Clothe yourself with a hero’s courage, and withdraw for a little space from the opinions of the common man. Form a proper conception of the image of virtue, a thing of exceeding beauty and grandeur; this image is not to be worshipped by us with incense or garlands, but with sweat and blood.
Seneca, Moral Letters to Lucilius, Letter LXVII: On Ill-Health and Endurance of Suffering
