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 102
You would do good unto men? Then show them by your own example what kind of men philosophy can make, and cease from foolish trifling.
Eating, do good to them that eat with you; drinking, to them that drink with you; yield unto all, give way, and bear with them.
Thus shall you do them good, but vent not upon them your own evil humor!
