Ryan Holiday Quote

No one is crushed by Fortune, unless they are first deceived by her … those who aren’t pompous in good times, don’t have their bubbles burst with change. Against either circumstance, the stable person keeps their rational soul invincible, for it’s precisely in the good times they prove their strength against adversity. —SENECA, ON CONSOLATION TO HELVIA, 5.4b, 5b–6
