November 19th Reading from The Daily Stoic (Round 2) - 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


Cited by Epictetus, Enchiridion, 53
