Good morning.

For over 2,000 years, the Stoic philosopher Marcus Porcius Cato has inspired leaders across generations.

Admirers like Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and George Washington saw him as a model of integrity and resilience. Washington was so moved by Cato’s example that he had Joseph Addison’s play Cato: A Tragedy performed for his troops at Valley Forge.
