Upon all occasions we ought to have these maxims ready at hand:

Conduct me, Jove, and you, O Destiny,
Wherever your decrees have fixed my station.
~ Cleanthes

I follow cheerfully; and, did I not,
Wicked and wretched, I must follow still
Whoever yields properly to Fate, is deemed
Wise among men, and knows the laws of heaven.
~ Euripides, Frag. 965

And this third: O Crito, if it thus pleases the gods, thus let it be.
Anytus and Melitus may kill me indeed, but hurt me they cannot.
~ Socrates in Plato's Crito and Apology
