If you’re seeking out some of the best stoic quotes to help you take on the challenges of life, then you’ll enjoy this page. Before we dive in however, it’s important to know that the Stoic philosophy revolves around living life according to the 4 cardinal virtues of: courage, wisdom, justice, and temperance. According to the Stoics, the only source of “good” or “bad” in your life is internal – are you living according to these virtues (good) or not (bad)? Everything else: wealth, health, fortune, fame, pleasure is neither good nor bad inherently.

That is, the Stoics aspired to take full responsibility for their internal sense of wellbeing, not surrendering their peace of mind into the hands of other people, or nature.

So, if you are ready to digest some of the best stoic quotes to help you take on each day and endure this year like a stoic, then let’s dive into to these pearls of wisdom left to us by the Stoics.

“What We Do Now Echoes In Eternity.”

– mArcus aurelius –

Takeaways

Stoic philosophy shifts responsibility of a person’s wellbeing from the outside world into their internal world – live a virtuous life, and misfortune will not be able to bring you down too much.

The ancient philosophers who tried following this philosophy had to deal with external adversities such as famine, slavery, disease, exile, treason, and other ailments of a non-modern world. We live much more comfortable lives. But replacing the “basic needs” adversities are other kinds of stressors. At our fingertips, we hold billions of people’s toxic opinions, bullying, and sometimes just plain cruelty.

We stress ourselves into chronic anxiety with day jobs, tasks, goals, relationships, and a non stop stream of notifications from all devices.

That said, reading a few Stoic quotes won’t change your life overnight. But, just like Marcus Aurlieus had to rehearse, practice, and remind himself daily – we too need to work towards becoming more resilient daily.

So, the next time you need a bit of inspiration to help you turn adversities into opportunities for growth, come back and review these stoic quotes.
