Enjoy The Road

An idea from The Consolation of Philosophy

Philosophy reaches a strange conclusion: “absolutely every fortune is good fortune.” Hard luck either tests the good or corrects the bad, so it is fair or useful. “It rests with you to make your fortune what you will.”

From The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius
