52. Upon all occasions we ought to have these maxims ready at hand:
"Conduct me, Jove, and you, 0 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 . . . , and knows the laws of heaven." (Euripides, Frag. 965)
And this third:
"0 Crito, if it thus pleases the gods, thus let it be. Anytus and Melitus may kill me indeed, but hurt me they cannot." (Plato's Crito and Apology)
THE END
