Stoicism is an ancient (yet timeless) philosophy from the Greek and Roman era. Basically, Stoics cultivate the basic virtues of Courage, Wisdom, Temperance and Justice, which lead to lasting happiness, success, love and all good things in life. “The man who has virtue is in need of nothing whatever for the purpose of living well.”

Famous stoics include the philosopher Seneca and Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius
