Seneca the Younger
Image
Just as so many rivers, so many showers of rain from above, so many medicinal springs do not alter the taste of the sea, so the pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man.

Image
If you are wise, You will mingle one thing with the other- Not hoping without doubt Not doubting without hope.
