The frailty of man is truly great to have the security of God.
Bona rerum secundarum optabilia; adversarum mirabilia.
The fruits of victory are desirable, adversity is wonderful.
Of Adversity
IT WAS an high speech of Seneca (after the manner of the Stoics), that the good things, which belong to prosperity, are to be wished; but the good things, that belong to adversity, are to be admired. Bona rerum secundarum optabilia; adversarum mirabilia.
Easy Does It
In order to experience the truth, one does not need to exert oneself whatsoever. People are accustomed to exerting themselves in everything they do and erroneously suppose that it is impossible to experience the truth without any exertion.
