Stoicism isn't exactly a word very familiar to modern audiences. Some people are likely seeing it for the first time ever. And to be fair, it's not surprising. Stoicism and Stoic Philosophy hails from ancient Greece and Rome in the early 3rd century BC. So when we say that this word is ancient, we really mean it. However, even if we don't consciously acknowledge it, the many dogmas and ideas ingrained in Stoic Philosophy are prevalent in our everyday lives. After reading through some philosopher quotes written eons ago, you might be surprised how much you can relate to them today.
