"A mother is the truest friend we have when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity."

Just as so many rivers, so many showers of rain from above, so many medicinal springs do not alter the taste of the sea, so the pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man. For it maintains its balance, and over all that happens it throws its own complexion, because it is more powerful than external circumstances.

— Seneca the Younger
