"How does it help, my husband, to make misfortune heavier by complaining about it? This is more fit for a king - to seize your adversities head on. The more precarious his situation, the more immanent his fall from power, the more firmly he should be resolved to stand and fight. It isn't manly to retreat from fortune."
~ Seneca, Oedipus, 80
