Just be aware that we don't speak of the Ancient Philosopher, but fo a fictional Character from Dan Millman's book "the peaceful warrior".

Japanese wisdom:

If if isn't yours, don't take it.
If it isn't right, don't do it.
If it isn't true, don't say it.
If you don't know, remain silent.

"My left is weakened. My right is broken. The situation is excellent. I'm on the attack."
Field Communiqué to Headquarters, Marshal Foch (French Commander, 1851-1929)
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool
I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.
Because all external expectations, all pride, all thoughts of
embarrassment or failure, these things just fall away in the face
of death, leaving only what is truly important.
