"Just as nature takes every obstacle, every impediment,……" — Marcus Aurelius
"Just as nature takes every obstacle, every impediment, and works around it--turns it to its purposes, incorporates it into itself, so, too, a rational being can turn each setback into raw material and use it to achieve its goal."
