Never in any case say I have lost such a thing, but I have returned it. Is your child dead? It is a return. Is your wife dead? It is a return. Are you deprived of your estate? Is not this also a return?

  • -- Epictetus 埃皮克特斯

无论如何,我决不会说我丢了这样一件东西,但我已经把它找回来了。你的孩子死了吗?这是一种回报。你妻子死了吗?这是一种回报。你的财产被剥夺了吗?这不也是一种回报吗?
