The Happy Person!
Seneca : pg.64 : Letters from a Stoic
Teach us that Happy person is
Not to whom the crowd deems happy
Not in whose coffers mighty sums have flowed
But whose possessions are all in his soul
Who is upright , exalted , and spurns inconsistent
Who sees no man with whom he wishes to change places
Take nature for his Teacher
No violence can deprive of his possessions
Who may be moved by force but never to distraction;
When even Fortune hurls his deadliest missile , May never wound!
