The Via Stoica Podcast: Stoic quotes series

In the Stoic quotes series, we take a look at what the Stoics said and uncover the wisdom they left behind. We look at the famous writings from Epictetus, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, and more.

In this episode, we reflect on a striking quote by Epictetus from The Discourses, Book 3, Chapter 24.87:

“What harm is there while you are kissing your child to say softly, ‘Tomorrow you will die’.”

What does it mean to hold both love and loss in the same breath? Epictetus challenges us to practice presence by remembering impermanence—not as a cold exercise, but as a way to love more deeply. In this episode, we explore how this ancient idea can shift our modern experience of connection, attachment, and grief.

If you are looking for more quotes like this one, visit viastoica.com, we have pages of hundreds of Stoic sayings. All are accompanied by their references so you can find them or use them in your own writings.

Make sure to subscribe to the podcast for more quote episodes or our regular Tuesday recordings and interviews. Also leave a rating, as this helps us reach more like-minded people.
