Wherever I go it will be well with me, for it was well with me here, not on account of the place, but of my judgments which I shall carry away with me, for no one can deprive me of these; on the contrary, they alone are my property, and cannot be taken away, and to possess them suffices me wherever I am or whatever I do.

We do not choose our own parts in life, and have nothing to do with those parts. Our duty is confined to playing them well.

It is not my place in society that makes me well off, but my judgements, and these I can carry with me... These alone are my own and cannot be taken away.

What is yours is to play the assigned part well. But to choose it belongs to someone else

Don't seek to have events happen as you wish, but wish them to happen as they do happen, and all will be well with you.
