Citação 15: Galileu


Whatever the course of our lives we should receive them as the highest gift from the hand of God, in which equally reposed the power to do nothing whatever for us. Indeed, we should accept misfortune not only in thanks, but in infinite gratitude to Providence, which by such means detaches us from an excessive love for Earthly things and elevates our minds to the celestial and divine.

Galileu Galilei, Terceira Carta Sobre as Machas Solares a Markus Welser (1-12-1612) [trad. Stillman Drake, 1957]
