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.

Ellis Walker, Epictetus in Poetical Paraphrase 24
XXIV.
If you would be invincible, you may; I'll shew you a certain and ready way. You can't be conquer'd , if you never try In any kind to get the mastery. 'Tis not within your pow'r to bear away The prize; 'tis in your choice not to essay.
