#GretaThunberg has grown into someone who can put her money where her mouth is. I can't say anything about her cause (I don't know) but she shows more heart and fire than most. We who protest in other areas need to take note.

“He never exhibited rudeness, lost control of himself, or turned violent. No one ever saw him sweat. Everything was to be approached logically and with due consideration, in a calm and orderly fashion but decisively, and with no loose ends.

You could have said of him (as they say of Socrates) that he knew how to enjoy and abstain from things most people find it hard to abstain from and all too easy to enjoy. Strength, perseverance, self-control in both areas: the mark of a soul in readiness — indomitable.”

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations (Debts and Lessons, Antoninus), 1.16
