William B. Irvine Quotes

The Stoics Believed In Social Reform, But They Also Believed In Personal Transformation. More Precisely, They Thought The First Step In Transforming A Society Into One In Which People Live A Good Life Is To Teach People How To Make Their Happiness Depend As Little As Possible On Their External Circumstances. The Second Step In Transforming A Society Is To Change People's External Circumstances. The Stoics Would Add That If We Fail To Transform Ourselves, Then No Matter How Much We Transform The Society In Which We Live, We Are Unlikely To Have A Good Life.
