If your brother acts unjustly, don't lay hold on the action by the handle of his injustice, for by that it cannot be carried; but by the opposite, that he is your brother, that he was brought up with you; and thus you will lay hold on it, as it is to be carried. ."

Thus thou wilt never find fault with the Gods, nor charge them with neglecting thee. ."
