Greek Stoicism (no quotes) is more positive.

  ὁ ἀγαθὸς ἀνὴρ [ἀδιάπτωτος καὶ] ἀδιάσειστος

  The good man (agathos aner, man who acts for the benefit of others) is [infallible and] unshakeable.
--Epictetus, whose name sounds "Roman", just like "Stoa" doesn't

This can be (plausibly) used to describe Sam Altman, for example
