"I Wish You Bad Luck" (Stoicism Part I)

In Part 5 of The Great Speeches of History, Sam analyzes a commencement speech by Chief Justice John Roberts through the lens of Stoicism. What exactly is this ancient philosophy that has guided leaders throughout the generations (from Theodore Roosevelt to Tom Brady), this philosophy that was founded by two of the most powerful men in Ancient Rome? What are its basic principles? And why did the Chief Justice of the United States wish a group of 8th graders bad luck on the day of their graduation? All this, plus another musical performance, in "I Wish You Bad Luck."
