The Story
"If, at some point in your life, you should come across anything better than justice, truth, self-control, courageāit must be an extraordinary thing indeed.āĀ āMarcus Aurelius
The Stoics believed inĀ Four Virtues: Justice. Temperance. Wisdom. Courage.
Compared to these things, everything else is cheap, if not worthless. Every situation, every moment is an opportunity to exemplify these forms of human excellence. There is no challenge, no problem so big that it does not call for courage, moderation, justice or wisdom.
To keep these virtues in mind, we are extremely excited to introduce the Four Virtues Ring. This design, custom to Daily Stoic, was hand-sketched by an artist in Brooklyn, NY, Lewis Williams. TheĀ Sterling Silver rings are handmade by the same artist who drew the design.
The front of theĀ ring features a custom-designed seal with four elements representing the Four Virtues: a lion (Courage), a jug of wine being poured out (Temperance), a set of scales (Justice), and an owl (Wisdom). We hand engraved "ACTA NON VERBA" on the inside, which translates to "Actions, not words."
Like the Cardinal directions, the four main points on the compassānorth, south, east, westāthe four virtues are a kind of compass. A guide to what to do, who to be, how to behave, how to respond in every situationāwith:
Courage, bravery, fortitude, honor, sacrifice...
Temperance, self-control, moderation, composure, balance...
Justice, fairness, service, fellowship, goodness, kindness...
Wisdom, knowledge, education, truth, self-reflection, serenity...
This creation was made to last for generations. Pass down these Stoic virtues for years to come.
Each ring is shipped in a velvet ring box, with an outer embossed box showing theĀ four essential symbols. Itās a powerful gift to anyone who needs the message.
