The Stoic Virtue of Courage

“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow” - Mary Anne Radmacher
The Stoic virtue of courage often inspires visions of soldiers bravely marching into battle or a mountaineer battling against the odds to reach the summit. While this kind of bravery certainly has its place, Stoic courage is perhaps better represented the quiet resolve to do the right thing even in the face of physical or psychological discomfort. It is speaking up when others remain silent, taking action rather than waiting for others to do their part and persisting when retreat is easy.
This month we will be discussing the Stoic virtue of courage and asking how we can be more courageous in our daily lives.
We invite you to join us for a lively discussion about Stoic principles and practice, and how they can help us to live a good life. All are welcome, whether you are well versed in Stoicism, a Stoic novice, or are simply curious to learn more.
