Emperor Marcus Aurelius was a big adherent of Stoicism, too, and it helped him to lead Rome for almost two decades. Aurelius wrote about his observations as a Stoic leader in his journals, later published under the title Meditations. Stoicism gave Aurelius a guidebook for living a virtuous life, focusing on what mattered and persevering despite setbacks -- and the Roman emperor had more than a few. But, as he wrote in Meditations, "Our actions may be impeded ... but there can be no impeding our intentions or dispositions.”
