November 19th Reading from The Daily Stoic - Maxims From Three Wise Men

"For any challenge we should hold three thoughts at our command:
'Lead on God and Destiny,
To that goal fixed for me long ago.
I will follow and not stumble; even if my will
is weak I will soldier on.'"
~ Cleanthes

"Whoever embraces necessity count as wise,
skilled in divine matters."
~Euripides

"If it pleases the gods, so be it. They may well kill me, but they can't hurt me."
~ Plato's Crito and Apology

Compiled by Epictetus in Enchiridion, 53
