Stoic
Ancient virtue seeker
Stoic refers to the ancient Greek philosophical school founded by Zeno of Citium, which taught that virtue and wisdom come from self-control and acceptance of fate.
A Stoic philosopher sought tranquility by distinguishing what is within one's control from what is not: Marcus Aurelius was a practicing Stoic. (Lowercase stoic describes emotional restraint generally.)
