Stoicism is a school of philosophy founded by Zeno of Citium in Athens around 300 BC. Its teachings focus on virtue as the highest good, reason as the guide of life, acceptance of what we cannot control, and amor fati — loving one's fate. Stoicism has profoundly influenced Western thought and remains one of the most widely practiced philosophies in the world today.
Marcus Aurelius (121–180 AD), Roman Emperor and Stoic philosopher, is the author of Meditations, one of the most influential books ever written. His quotes on virtue, reason, memento mori and inner tranquility continue to inspire millions. Famous quotes: "The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way." "Confine yourself to the present." "You have power over your mind, not outside events."
Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BC–65 AD) was one of the greatest Roman Stoic writers. His Letters to Lucilius and essays on the shortness of life (De Brevitate Vitae), friendship, fortune and self-knowledge are essential readings. Famous quote: "Dum differtur vita transcurrit" — while we delay, life speeds on.
Epictetus (50–135 AD), a Stoic philosopher born into slavery, is the author of the Enchiridion (Handbook) and the Discourses. His teachings on the dichotomy of control — distinguishing what depends on us from what does not — are the foundation of practical Stoicism. Famous quote: "It is not things that disturb men, but opinions about things."
Memento mori: remember you will die — a Stoic practice of reflecting on mortality. Amor fati: love of fate, accepting and embracing everything that happens. Dichotomy of control: focusing only on what is in our power. Virtue (arete): the only true good according to Stoicism. Logos: the universal reason that governs the cosmos.
