Many commit the same crime with a very different result. One bears a cross for his crime; another a crown.
JuvenalWe deem those happy who, from the experience of life, have learned to bear its ills, without being overcome by them.
JuvenalYour prayer must be for a healthy mind in a sound body. Ask for a brave soul that has no fear of death, deems length of life the least of nature's gifts and is able to bear any kind of sufferings, knows neither wrath nor desire and believes the woes and hard labors of Hercules better than the loves and feasts and downy cushions of Sardanapalus. Reveal what you are able to give yourself; the only path to a life of tranquility lies through virtue.
Juvenal
