Upon every accident, remember to turn towards
yourself and inquire what faculty you have for its use.
If you encounter a handsome person, you will find
continence the faculty needed; if pain, then fortitude; if reviling, then patience. And when thus
habituated, the phenomena of existence will not overwhelm you.
