A great man does not lose his self-possession when he is afflicted; the ocean is not made muddy by the falling in of its banks.

One should seek for the salutary in the unpleasant: if it is there, it is after all nectar. One should seek for the deceitful in the pleasant: if it is there it is after all poison.

A wise man, to accomplish his end, may even carry his foe on his shoulder.
