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.

"But at least three of members of the Board of Directors are millionaires. They wouldn't step in?"
"They'd talk up a storm, and fire both of us, but they wouldn't cover the costs."
"Why? Why are so many rich people so stingy?"
"Don't be silly. That's exactly why they're rich people."
