The Enchridion
10. With every accident, ask yourself what abilities you have
for making a proper use of it. If you see an attractive
person, you will find that self-restraint is the ability you
have against your desire. If you are in pain, you will find
fortitude. If you hear unpleasant language, you will find
patience. And thus habituated, the appearances of things will
not hurry you away along with them.
