If, then, it hap­pens to thee in such way as thou art formed by nature to bear it, do not com­plain, but bear it as thou art formed by nature to bear it. But if it hap­pens in such wise as thou art not formed by nature to bear it, do not com­plain, for it will per­ish after it has con­sumed thee. Re­mem­ber, how­ever, that thou art formed by nature to bear everything, with re­spect to which it de­pends on thy own opin­ion to make it en­dur­able and tol­er­able, by think­ing that it is either thy in­terest or thy duty to do this.
