Your Lot
Isocrates, To Demonicus 29 (tr. George Norlin):
Newer› ‹Older
Be content with your present lot, but seek a better one.Sandys ad loc.:
Taunt no man with his misfortune; for fate is common to all and the future is a thing unseen.
στέργε μὲν τὰ παρόντα, ζήτει δὲ τὰ βελτίω.
μηδενὶ συμφορὰν ὀνειδίσῃς· κοινὴ γὰρ ἡ τύχη καὶ τὸ μέλλον ἀόρατον.
βελτίω Γ, Stobaeus: βέλτιστα ΕΖ
