What is evil? It is that which you have often seen. And on all occasions, when thou art vexed at anything, remember that it is nothing else than that which thou hast often seen. And generally thou wilt find that the human life is a repetition of the same things, and that there is nothing new under the sun.

Stoic philosophy, Roman Emperor
