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.

Sayings of Heraclitus 91
Those who speak with understanding must hold fast to what is common to all, as a city holds fast to its law, and even more strongly.
For all human laws are fed by the one divine law.
It prevails as much as it will, and suffices for all things, with something to spare.
