There is nothing happens to any person but what was in his power to go through with.
Marcus AureliusRemember that to change your mind and follow him who sets you right is to be none the less free than you were before.
Marcus AureliusNature has given to each conscious being every power she possesses, and one of these abilities is this: just as Nature converts and alters every obstacle and opposition, and fits them into their predestined place, making them a part of herself, so too the rational person is able to finesse every obstacle into an opportunity, and to use it for whatever purpose it may suit.
Marcus Aurelius
