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 33
Do you know what a speck you are in comparison with the Universe?
That is, with respect to the body; since with respect to Reason, you are not inferior to the Gods, nor less than they.
For the greatness of Reason is not measured by length or height, but by the resolves of the mind.
Place then your happiness in that wherein you are equal to the Gods.
