The truth is, stoicism is not about living without emotion, and it is a practice that can be lived by anyone of any gender. Stoicism is a mindfulness practice that originated in Athens in the 3rd century, BCE. The practice reminds us that the world is unpredictable, and that life is fleeting. It teaches you how to be strong in your mind and to control your emotions, not to eliminate them altogether. The stoic quotes will teach us the techniques having humility. 1. “Complaining does not work as a strategy. We all have finite time and energy. Any time we spend whining is unlikely to help us achieve our goals. And it won’t make us happier.” 2. “It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.” 3. “Too many people believe that everything must be pleasurable in life.” 4. “Be tolerant with others and strict with yourself.” 5 “Love sometimes injures. Friendship always benefits, after friendship is formed you must trust, but before that you must judge.” 6. “Having the fewest wants, I am nearest to the gods.” 7. “Man is mostly a collection of emotions, most of which he would do better not to be feeling.” 8. “Imagine smiling after a slap in the face. Then think of doing it twenty-four hours a day.” 9. “Warriors should suffer their pain silently.”
