About Us

Stoic.Life was created for practitioners of stoicism. Our shirts serve as a daily reminder of the stoic ideas and principles that guide us through life.  Stoicism was designed to make us wiser, happier, and more resilient. While it was created in the third century B.C., we believe the practice is more important now than ever.

Stoicism is a school of philosophy that hails from ancient Greece and Rome in the early parts of the third century, B.C. It is a philosophy of life that maximizes positive emotions, reduces negative emotions, and help individuals to hone their virtues of character. 

Some of our favorite reminders…

Memento Mori- Remember death.

“You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think.” -Marcus Aurelius

“Let us prepare our minds as if we’d come to the very end of life. Let us postpone nothing. Let us balance life’s books each day. … The one who puts the finishing touches on their life each day is never short of time.” -Seneca

Amor Fati- A love of Fate. Make the best of everything that happens, for everything that happens is necessary.

“Not merely bear what is necessary, still less conceal it….but love it.” -Friedrich Nietzsche

Summum Bonum- The Highest Good. The aim of actions, which, if consistently pursued, will lead to the best possible life.

Sympatheia- "All things are mutually woven together and therefore have an affinity for each other.” -Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

The four stoic virtues- Justice. Temperance. Wisdom. Courage. 

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. -Reinhold Niebuhr
