Building upon many years of privately shared thoughts on the real benefits of Stoic Philosophy, Liam Milburn eventually published a selection of Stoic passages that had helped him to live well. They were accompanied by some of his own personal reflections. This blog hopes to continue his mission of encouraging the wisdom of Stoicism in the exercise of everyday life. All the reflections are taken from his notes, from late 1992 to early 2017.

Epictetus, Golden Sayings 5
Rufus used to say, If you have the leisure to praise me, what I say is nothing.

So surely did he lay his finger on the very deeds we did, so surely did he display the faults of each before his very eyes.
