Suppose, however, that your lie has become full of troubles, and that without knowing wgar you were doing you have fallen into some snare which either public of private Fortune has set for you, and that you can neither untie it nor break it: then remember that fettered men suffer much at first from the burdens and slogs upon their legs: afterwards, when they have made up their minds not to fret themselves about them, but to endure them, necessity teaches them to bear them bravely, and habit to bear them easily. In every station of life you will find amusements, relaxations, and enjoyments; that is, provided that you be willing to make light of evils rather than to hate them. -- Seneca
