"When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." - Viktor Frankl

"Where is the good? In the will. Where is the evil? In the will. Where is neither of them? In those things that are independent of the will." - Epictetus.

"True education is about getting the best out of oneself. What else is there? Not whether we've become more learned, but whether we've become better." - Epictetus.

"Prosperity is the blessing of the Old Testament, adversity is the blessing of the New, which carrieth the greater benediction, and the clearer revelation of God's favour." - Marcus Aurelius

"He who laughs at himself never runs out of things to laugh at." - Epictetus

"Don't hope that events will turn out the way you want, welcome events in whichever way they happen: this is the path to peace." - Epictetus

"Seek not the good in external things; seek it in yourselves." - Epictetus

"Be like the headland, against which the waves break and break; it stands firm, until presently the watery tumult around it subsides once more to rest. 'How unlucky I am, that this should have happened to me!' By no means; say rather, 'How lucky I am, that it has left me with no bitterness; unshaken by the present, and undismayed by the future.' The thing could have happened to anyone, but not everyone would have emerged unembittered." - Marcus Aurelius

"Difficulties are things that show a person what they are." - Epictetus

"Anger: an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured." - Seneca

Welcome, listeners, to an exciting announcement from Stoicism by Robots. This Friday - December first - marks the launch of a new addition to our podcast: the introduction of AI-generated stoic passages in our new paid episodes. While our main show delves into the profound wisdom of renowned stoics, these paid episodes will offer an entirely new experience. Our artificial intelligence will be writing completely original stoic passages, delivering a unique fusion of ancient philosophy and cutting-edge technology and offering fresh perspectives combined with timeless insights. Episodes will be available for individual purchase, or as an all access subscription and will be accessible right in your usual podcast app. This venture represents a blend of ancient philosophy and modern innovation, inviting you to explore stoicism through the lens of artificial intelligence. Join us this Friday as we embark on this new chapter, embracing the crossroads of tradition and technology in our quest for wisdom. Stay tuned for an enriching experience that echoes the essence of stoic teachings, reinvented by robots for the modern era.

"Think of the life you have lived until now as over and, as a dead man, see what's left as a bonus and live it according to Nature. Love the hand that fate deals you and play it as your own, for what could be more fitting?" - Marcus Aurelius

“Why then are we offended? Why do we complain? This is the work of a skilled wrestler, whom fortune has brought forth as a fit antagonist, whose strength may be tried and improved by him. Must I, then, who have got such a stout and noble champion on whom to try my strength, be outdone with pleasure and pain? And how dull and unexercised must I appear, if I shrink from severity and the fire, if I cannot bear stern looks, or harsh words, incapable as I am of the true touch and test of Virtue!” - Hierocles

"Let all your efforts be directed to something, let it keep that end in view. It's not activity that disturbs people, but false conceptions of things that drive them mad." - Seneca

"Every day we ought to review our actions, and every night examine ourselves as to what we have been doing. Let not sleep fall upon your eyes before you have thrice run over the events of the day. 'Where have I gone wrong? What have I done? What duty have I neglected?' Since when hast thou acted thus; review and inspect thyself." - Seneca

"True wealth consists in keeping the needs to a minimum." - Epictetus.

"Wherever a man is, he can find a place to practice the virtues of self-control, honesty, perseverance, duty, prudence, even under the most hostile conditions.

"All things are interwoven with one another; a sacred bond unites them; there is scarcely one thing that is isolated from another. Everything is coordinated, everything works together in giving form to one universe. The world-order is a unity made up of multiplicity: God is one, pervading all things; all being is one, all law is one (namely, the common reason which all thinking creatures possess) and all truth is one — if, as we believe, there can be but one path to perfection for beings that are alike in kind and reason." - Marcus Aurelius.
