Whatever hour God has blessed you with, take it with a grateful hand.
Joking apart, now let us be serious.
It is sweet to let the mind unbend on occasion.
By heaven you have destroyed me, my friends!
Who then is free? The one who wisely is lord of themselves, who neither poverty, death or captivity terrify, who is strong to resist his appetites and shun honors, and is complete in themselves smooth and round like a globe
Remember to be calm in adversity.
