Let's join forces, not merely to bring about wonderful things, but to bring them about in our time.

When someone reproached him for cowardice, Cleanthes said, "That is why I so seldom go wrong," because he was afraid to do anything dishonorable.

Stoicism is the best business model. The Stoic School is an active member of the Waterford Area Chamber of Commerce.

Quantum physics has come a long way in the last 100 years in validating key parts of Stoic teachings on reality. But, do not confuse what modern physicists understand with how some of the pioneers of quantum theory initially interpreted reality. This video discusses the Copenhagen Interpretation and some of its limitations.
