Wisdom, justice, courage, temperance. The Stoics considered these four virtues the complete map of good character and the only genuine goods available to a human being.
The Dichotomy of Control
The foundational principle of Stoic philosophy. Epictetus built the entire system on one distinction — learn what it is, where it comes from, and how to practice it daily.

The Stoic practice of imagining loss before it happens. Not pessimism — a disciplined technique for building resilience, gratitude, and psychological stability.
