The Stoics, including prominent figures like Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca, left a rich legacy of philosophical writings and quotes that emphasized virtue, reason, and living in harmony with nature.
Their works, such as Aurelius' "Meditations," Epictetus' "Enchiridion," and Seneca's letters, continue to influence modern thought with their timeless wisdom on ethics, self-discipline, and the pursuit of inner peace.
