About This Site
This site exists for one simple reason: to give you a single Stoic quote to steady your day. Straightforward and simple.
This project grew out of my own personal journey. A season where I needed to heal and clear years of "mind junk" that negatively impacted my outlook on life, my career, and the relationships I value most.
I'm a Christian, and for a long time I avoided Stoicism because I thought it might pull me away from my faith. I had heard of it from a mentor and on social media, but I set it aside for more than a year. Then, after hitting another wall, I finally opened my mind and began studying it.
What I found surprised me. Stoicism wasn't superstition or some strange philosophy. It was a practical philosophy that helped me live out my faith more intentionally. It reminded me to release what I can't control and focus on what I can, trusting that God's plan holds steady even when outcomes remain uncertain. Rather than weakening my walk with Christ, Stoicism strengthened it.
Why I built this site
To practice Stoicism daily. I wanted a simple way to see a quote each morning and reflect on its wisdom throughout the day.
To grow as a web developer. This has been the perfect starter project. A chance to combine learning with something meaningful.
Quotes on this site
You'll notice that each Stoic quote here is paired with a Bible verse. That's intentional: I've seen some harmony between the insights of Stoic thinkers and the timeless teachings of Scripture. This site is my small and humble contribution to a philosophy that has given me new tools for clarity and strength. All while keeping my faith at the center. My hope is that it helps you, too, find steady ground as you face life's twists and turns.
Roadmap
- Secure relevant domain
- Secure a proper, relevant domain for the site once it feels more polished and stable.
- Develop an API
- Develop an API so that, if interest grows, anyone can easily pull a daily Stoic quote for their own projects or apps.
