There is no misfortune, but to bear it nobly is good fortune.
Not even the vicissitudes of fortune are contrary to nature or to the providential ordering of the universe. It all flows from the gods, who determine what is needed for the welfare of the whole universe, of which you are a part.
Misfortune nobly born is good fortune.
No amount of misfortune will satisfy the man who is not satisfied with reading a hundred epigrams
Fortune gives many too much, but none enough
Receive the gifts of fortune without pride, and part with them without reluctance.
