Correctly discerning where we are free to mould reality according to our wishes and where we must accept the unalterable with tranquillity

The only thing which can relieve us from the sway of the passions and the fear of danger, and which can teach us to bear the injuries of fortune itself with moderation, and which shows us all the ways which lead to tranquility and peace
