Upon all occasions we ought to have these maxims ready at hand:

“Conduct me, Jove, and you, O Destiny, Wherever your decrees have fixed my station.” Cleanthes

“I follow cheerfully; and, did I not, Wicked and wretched, I must follow still Whoever yields properly to Fate, is deemed Wise among men, and knows the laws of heaven.” Euripides, Frag. 965

And this third:

“O Crito, if it thus pleases the gods, thus let it be. Anytus and Melitus may kill me indeed, but hurt me they cannot.” Plato’s Crito and Apology
