Stoic Snippets 68


Nothing happens to any man which he is not formed by Nature to bear.

The same things happen to another, and either because he does not see that they have happened, or because he would show a great spirit, he is firm and remains unharmed. 

It is a shame then that ignorance and conceit should be stronger than wisdom.

—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 5.18
