Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, book v, sec. 20
The mind turns every obstacle into an aid.
Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, book vii, sec. 14
Man becomes better and nobler by making a right use of all that comes to pass.
Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, book x, sec. 33
Nothing that happens injures me, for within every event there is the opportunity to exercise justice, moderation, compassion and courage. In this way, the mind turns every obstacle into an aid and I become better and nobler by making a right use of all that comes to pass.
