“Do not seek for things to happen the way you want them to; rather, wish that what happens happen the way it happens: then you will be happy.” - Epictetus

The Wanderer said— ⁠"**One adequate support** **For the calamities of mortal life** **Exists, one only;—an assured belief** **That the procession of our fate, howe'er** **Sad or disturbed, is ordered**

"When sorely provoked and out of patience, remember that man’s life is but for a moment; a little while, and we all lie stretched in death."
