Paul Graham:
Prestige is the enemy of passion.
Prestige is the opinion of the rest of the world.
Prestige is just fossilized inspiration

“Find something more important than you are,”  Dan Dennett

Seneca counsels his young friend:

What I advise you to do is, not to be unhappy before the crisis comes; since it may be that the dangers before which you paled as if they were threatening you, will never come upon you; they certainly have not yet come.
