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 185

Generally, wickedness does no harm at all to the Universe; and particularly the wickedness of one man does no harm to another.

It is only harmful to him who has it in his power to be released from it as soon as he shall choose.

—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 8.55
