Let not another's disobedience to Nature become an ill to you; for
you were not born to be depressed and unhappy with others, but to
be happy with them. And if any is unhappy, remember that he is so
for himself; for God made all men to enjoy felicity and peace.
-- Epictetus (c. 60 AD)
-- That we ought not to be affected by Things not in our own Power,
-- Discourses, Book iii, Chap. xxiv
