To Myself: Stoic Quotes

To Myself brings you one Stoic quote a day: on your Home Screen, in the app, and in an optional morning notification. Every quote is copied word for word from a public-domain translation, and every one shows exactly where it comes from.

EVERY QUOTE CITED
Each quote shows the author, the work, the book and section, and the translator, for example "Meditations 4.49, tr. George Long (1862)". The Source button opens the passage in the full source text. Nothing is paraphrased, modernized or written by AI.

218 QUOTES FROM THE ORIGINAL TEXTS
- Marcus Aurelius, Meditations (tr. George Long, 1862)
- Epictetus, Discourses and Enchiridion (tr. George Long, 1877)
