250. Marcus Aurelius Character Quotes: "You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can’t control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone."

255. David Goggins Character Quotes: "We must live our lives to a higher standard. The standard we set for ourselves must makes us feel uncomfortable. If the standard you set for yourself allows you to feel comfortable, you must re-evaluate the bar you set for yourself."

259. H. Jackson Brown Jr. Character Quotes: "Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece – by thought, choice, courage, and determination."
260. Adam Grant Character Quotes: "Being unfiltered is not a sign of authenticity. It’s a sign of low self-control. Impulsive leadership is trusting your gut and shooting from the hip. Disciplined leadership is taking the time to consider the impact of your actions on others."

262. Bill Masur Character Quotes: "To build your body, you need to exercise. To build your mind, you need to read. To uplift your soul, you need to create. F*ck the people who say it’s too much to ask of someone. Without ideals civilization wouldn’t exist. No one is inspired by mediocrity."
263. Hermann Hesse Character Quotes: "What we can and should change is ourselves: our impatience, our egoism (including intellectual egoism), our sense of injury, our lack of love and forbearance. I regard every other attempt to change the world, even if it springs from the best intentions, as futile."
264. James Clear Character Quotes: "A simple strategy to save you so many headaches: don’t care about winning trivial arguments. Someone says something you disagree with? Smile, nod, and move on to more important things. Life is short. Not caring about having the last word will save you so much time."
265. Eric Bandholz Character Quotes: "It’s time to stop labeling poor and rich people by their money. Instead a poor person is one who has a victim mentality and doesn’t think they have control of their lives. A rich person is one who sees abundance in the world and focuses on bringing value to others."
266. Bill Masur Character Quotes: "Self-control is not repression, but the act of consciously and forcefully taking action without being led strictly by impulses and desires.

267. Marie Curie Character Quotes: "You cannot hope to build a better world without improving individuals.

268. Marcus Aurelius Character Quotes: "In short, know this: Human lives are brief and trivial. Yesterday a blob of semen; tomorrow embalming fluid, ask. To pass through this brief life as nature demands. To give it up without complaint. Like an olive that ripens and falls. Praising its mother, thanking the tree it grew on."
