The Consolation of Philosophy

Yet the beautiful shines through even in these circumstances,
when one bears many and great misfortunes easily,
not because of a lack of feeling, but because
one is noble-minded and great-souled.

Aristotle's Ethics, I, xi, 12.

Original Greek: "ὅμως δὲ καὶ ἐν τούτοις διαλάμπει τὸ καλὸν, ἐπειδὰν φέρῃ τις εὐκόλως πολλὰς καὶ μεγάλας ἀτυχίας, μὴ δι’ ἀναλγησίαν, ἀλλὰ γεννάδας ὢν καὶ μεγαλόψυχος."
