"As [[Musonius Rufus]] reminds us, that “**by the standard of pleasure, nothing is more pleasant than self-control and … nothing is more painful than lack of self-control**.” Nobody who has given themselves over to excess is having a good time. No one enslaved to their appetites is free." --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[self-control]], [[mindfulness]], [[consistency]], [[discipline]], [[cravings]] **Source** -- [[202409150124 - B - Discipline is Destiny]]
