None of these conditions restrained any of these men from practicing Stoicism and becoming some of the most influential people of their time. A little secret… You can achieve the same.

This article compiles 25 powerful stoic quotes to boost your self-growth. One of the best ways to do it is by remembering the words of the most acclaimed Stoic teachers and the new raising philosophers influencers such as Ryan Holiday, Dario Navarro and Tim Ferris.

“Not all stoics were wealthy senators. There was another kind of Stoic exemplar as well: the outsider whose ascetic lifestyle won him the admiration of his wealthier contemporaries and enabled him to criticize the pretenses of upper-class society with real authority. An early example of the type is Gaius Musonius Rufus, a member of the Roman administrative class, the so-called knights (equites), who was banished by both Nero and Vespasian.” (xxiv)

I assure that these 25 Stoic quotes will boost your self-growth as well as they will give you the motivation to go through your days, weeks and months.
