Ethical Fragments is a collection of nearly 500 quotations from Stoic philosophers, from the early founders to the Roman Stoics and the Stoics of the Imperial Period. Collected by John Richmond, the original book was published in 1896 and served as a highly portable resource for Stoic wisdom.

This new illustrated edition features over 100 beautiful illustrations that bring the words of the Stoics to life. The illustrations are by a variety of artists, both ancient and modern, and they capture the essence of Stoic philosophy in a visually stunning way.

Ethical Fragments is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Stoicism. The quotations are organized by topic, making it easy to find what you're looking for. And the illustrations provide a unique way to engage with the wisdom of the Stoics.

What is Stoicism?

Stoicism is a philosophy that teaches us how to live a happy and fulfilling life in the face of adversity. The Stoics believe that the only things we can control are our thoughts and actions, and that we should focus on living in accordance with nature.

Stoicism is not about denying our emotions or pretending to be perfect. It is about accepting the reality of life and learning to respond to it with wisdom and courage.

The Stoic Virtues

The Stoics identified four cardinal virtues: wisdom, justice, courage, and temperance. These virtues are essential for living a good and happy life.

• Wisdom is the ability to see the world clearly and to understand the nature of reality.
• Justice is the ability to act fairly and justly towards others.
• Courage is the ability to face adversity with strength and determination.
• Temperance is the ability to control our desires and to live in moderation.

The Stoic Way of Life

The Stoics believed that the key to happiness is to live in accordance with nature. This means living in harmony with the laws of the universe and accepting the things that we cannot control.

The Stoics also believed that we should focus on our own actions and not on the things that we cannot control. We cannot control other people or the events that happen to us, but we can control how we respond to them.

The Stoic way of life is not easy, but it is a path to happiness and fulfillment. By following the Stoic virtues and living in accordance with nature, we can learn to live a good and happy life in the face of adversity.

Ethical Fragments

Ethical Fragments is a collection of nearly 500 quotations from Stoic philosophers. These quotations provide a valuable insight into the Stoic way of life and can help us to live happier and more fulfilling lives.

Here are a few of my favorite quotations from Ethical Fragments:

"The greatest wealth is to live content with little."

- Zeno of Citium

"It is not events that disturb people, it is their judgments concerning them."

- Epictetus

"The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way."

- Marcus Aurelius

I hope you enjoy reading Ethical Fragments as much as I did. I encourage you to use the quotations in this book to help you live a happier and more fulfilling life.
