Here you go, from Epictetus:

“What hurts this man is not this occurrence itself—for another man might not be hurt by it—but the view he chooses to take of it.”

"O generations of men,
fleeting race of suffering mankind,
look, look on your hopes!
Look at your lives,
all those happy hopes
cut down with failure and crossed with death.
See, in endless long parade,
the passing generations go,
changing places, changing lives.
The suffering remains.
Change and grief consume our little light."

Ah, thanks for that Epictetus line. I was thinking as a summary something along the lines of "everyone is destined with a role in the universe and trying to go against destiny causes them misfortune." Probably too specific of a description to fit all of stoicism?

There isn't really one specific description you can use for Stoicism, but yours is very common. The beliefs you find most commonly between Stoics and Eclectics who use Stoics is that we can use our rationality to not be adversely affected by things (lie in Epictetus' quote), and that we ought not to be concerned with things outside of our control:

There are things which are within our power, and there are things which are beyond our power. Within our power are opinion, aim, desire, aversion, and, in one word, whatever affairs are our own. Beyond our power are body, property, reputation, office, and, in one word, whatever are not properly our own affairs. . . Seek at once, therefore, to be able to say to every unpleasing semblance, “You are but a semblance and by no means the real thing.” And then examine it by those rules which you have; and first and chiefly by this: whether it concerns the things which are within our own power or those which are not; and if it concerns anything beyond our power, be prepared to say that it is nothing to you.

"All thoughts are fundamentally irrational."
True skepticism

"Live life how you want and not how others tell you, pursue you interest and help people because YOU want to, not because others tell you that you must."

All life is equal, we can only make advantages for our lives if we decide this is irrelevant. I'm racist.
