Petite Wisdoms: Stoicism
Founded by Zeno Stoicism teaches the importance of perception and control so that when faced with adversity an individual will understand what they can, and cannot, control. Perhaps one of the most well know Stoics was Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (121-180AD). He was the last of the five good emperors of Rome. Having studied philosophy from an early age he knew Stoicism embodied wisdom for life. We know a great deal about Marcus because Latin translations of his 12 books of personal Meditations are kept in the Vatican. Not only were these written for self-analysis but perhaps to educate his son.
Here are some wise Stoic adages from Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus, Zeno, and Musonius Rufus:
The best answer to anger is silence.
The only wealth which you will keep forever is the wealth that you have given away.
We suffer more often in imagination than in reality. Ignorance is the cause of fear.
Hang on to your youthful enthusiasms -you will be able to use them better when you are older.
We have two ears and one mouth so that we should listen twice as much as we speak !
A ship should not rely on a single anchor nor life on a single hope.
No great thing is created suddenly.
No loss should be more regrettable to us than losing our time for it’s irretrievable.
