The four Stoic virtues - Deepstash

The four Stoic virtues

  • Wisdom - the ability to define what is good, what is not good, and what is indifferent.
  • Courage - the opposing force of cowardice. Courage is not the elimination or fear, desire or anxiety, it is acting in the right way despite our fear, desire and anxieties.
  • Justice - our duty to our fellow man, and to our society. It’s the morality behind how we act, specifically in relation to our community and the people within it.
  • Temperance - relates to self restraint, self discipline and self control. It is our ability to choose long term well-being over short term satisfaction.
