"Stoicism is not a school of emotionless thought. They are not grim wooden individuals with harsh perceptions. A frequent goal of stoicism is oppressing negative emotions and finding temperance within natural desires.

Temperance comes through the four cardinal virtues of stoicism: Courage, Justice, Moderation, and Wisdom. These might sound familiar as they are part of the seven virtues at the center of Catholic moral theology."

The Catechism states:

"Four virtues play a pivotal role and accordingly are called "cardinal"; all the others are grouped around them. They are: prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance."
