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.

The Wisdom of Solomon 1:7-11
[7] Because the Spirit of the Lord has filled the world,
and that which holds all things together knows what is said;
[8] therefore no one who utters unrighteous things
will escape notice,
and justice, when it punishes, will not pass him by.
[9] For inquiry will be made into the counsels of an ungodly man,
and a report of his words will come to the Lord,
to convict him of his lawless deeds;
[10] because a jealous ear hears all things,
and the sound of murmurings does not go unheard.
[11] Beware then of useless murmuring,
and keep your tongue from slander;
because no secret word is without result,
and a lying mouth destroys the soul.
