A Stoic Breviary: Classical Wisdom in Daily Practice

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.

Stoic Snippets 128

Adorn yourself with simplicity and modesty, and with indifference towards the things which lie between virtue and vice.

Love mankind. Follow God.

The poet says that law rules all—and it is enough to remember that law rules all.

—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 7.31
