The Daily Stoic · If You Want To Be Great, This Is All You Have To Do | Can Ryan Pass This Stoic Quiz? · 9 Jul 2026 podcast

Hello, puzzlers, and welcome to the Puzzler Podcast, the marble pediment atop your Roman puzzle temple.

I am your host, AJ Jacobs, and I am joined by today's guest, the amazing Ryan Holiday, podcaster, multiple bestselling author of books such as The Ego is the Enemy and Stillness is the Key.

Welcome, Ryan.

I am so excited.

I know you're not a huge puzzler, but I think you're going to like this one.

I think you're going to... This is more of a quiz, right?

And you prefer the quiz.

All right.

Well, I did give you a hint of what it is, and it's based on your wonderful podcast, The Daily Stoic, which I am honored to have been a guest on.

And on your podcast, you talk about the wisdom of the ancient Greek and Roman Stoic philosophers and how their wisdom can be applied today.

So this puzzle is all about Stoic wisdom.

Okay.

And the quiz is Stoic philosopher...

or cartoon character.

So I'm going to give you two quotes, one from a stoic philosopher, one from a cartoon character or comic character.

You have to tell me which is which, and they're going to be mixed up in the order.

So are you ready?

Yes.

All right.

Now, I think, honestly, I think you're going to do pretty well on this, but hopefully... It would be embarrassing if I don't.
