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.

Fragments of Parmenides 3
Welcome, O youth, that comes to my abode on the car that bears you tended by immortal charioteers! It is no ill chance, but right and justice that has sent you forth to travel on this way.
Far, indeed, does it lie from the beaten track of men! Fitting it is that you should learn all things, as well the unshaken heart of well-rounded truth, as the opinions of mortals in which is no true belief at all.
Yet nonetheless shall you learn these things also—how passing right through all things one should judge the things that seem to be.
