Stoic Quote 8: “The wise man is content with himself.” - Seneca
Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism.
In the Stoic Quotes series, we explore timeless insights from the ancient Stoics and break them down into simple, practical lessons. Drawing on the works of Seneca, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, and others, we reflect on how these teachings still apply today.
In this episode, we turn to a powerful reminder from Seneca in Letters from a Stoic, Letter IX:
“The wise man is content with himself.”
What does it mean to be truly content with yourself, no matter what happens around you? Seneca invites us to look inward for stability and strength, instead of being shaken by the opinions and chaos of the world. This episode unpacks how cultivating inner contentment is one of the highest goals of Stoic practice.
