Quotes by Patrick Ussher (?)

“Stoicism is about Joy, Serenity, Meaning and Purpose. It is about being a useful and important member of society.”
― Patrick Ussher, Stoicism Today: Selected Writings

“Emotions: our emotions are the project of our judgements, of thinking that something good or bad is happening or is about to happen. Many of our negative emotions are based on mistaken judgements, but because they are due to our judgements it means they are within our control. Change the judgements and you change the emotions. Despite the popular image, the Stoic does not repress or deny his emotions; instead he simply aims not to have negative emotions in the first place. The aim, therefore, is to overcome harmful, negative emotions that are based on mistaken judgments while embracing correct positive emotions, replacing anger with joy.”
― Patrick Ussher, Stoicism Today: Selected Writings

“Virtue is a form or expertise or skill, the knowledge of how to live well in every way which shapes the whole personality. Virtue is analysed in terms of four generic or cardinal virtues: wisdom, courage, self-control or moderation, and justice, seen either as four aspects of a single form of knowledge or as interdependent.”
― Patrick Ussher, Stoicism Today: Selected Writings, Volume II
