He Who Is Virtuous Is Wise; And

In Omni Adversitate Fortunæ, Infelicissimum Genus Est Infortunii Fuisse Felicem In Every Adversity Of Fortune, To Have Been Happy Is The Most Unhappy Kind Of Misfortune.

Balance Out The Good Things And The Bad That Have Happened In Your Life And You Will Have To Acknowledge That You Are Still Way Ahead. You Are Unhappy Because You Have Lost Those Things In Which You Took Pleasure? But You Can Also Take Comfort In The Likelihood That What Is Now Making You Miserable Will Also Pass Away.

One's Virtue Is All That One Truly Has, Because It Is Not Imperiled By The Vicissitudes Of Fortune.

And No Renown Can Render You Well-known: For If You Think That Fame Can Lengthen Life By Mortal Famousness Immortalized, The Day Will Come That Takes Your Fame As Well, And There A Second Death For You Awaits.

It's My Belief That History Is A Wheel. 'inconstancy Is My Very Essence,'? Says The Wheel. Rise Up On My Spokes If You Like But Don't Complain When You're Cast Back Down Into The Depths. Good Times Pass Away, But Then So Do The Bad. Mutability Is Our Tragedy, But It's Also Our Hope. The Worst Of Times, Like The Best, Are Always Passing Away.
