What we bear is not so important as how we bear it.
Seneca's On Providence, chap, ii, sec. 4
The good man bears calmly much that is not evil, except to those that take it ill.
Seneca's On Providence, chap, iv, sec. 16
He yields to destiny, and consoles himself by knowing that he is carried along with the universe.
Seneca's On Providence, chap, v, sec. 8
We are not defined by what happens to us, but by the choices we make when we are faced with life. What we bear is not so important as how we bear it.
