Keep these quotes ready for any situation:
"Lead me, Zeus, and you too, Fate, wherever you have decided I should go. I'll follow gladly. Even if I refuse — stubborn and miserable — I'll have to follow anyway."
"Anyone who accepts fate properly is considered wise and understands how the universe works."
And this third one:
"Crito, if this is what the gods want, then let it happen."
"Anytus and Melitus can kill me, but they cannot actually harm me."
Upon all occasions we ought to have these maxims ready at hand:
Conduct me, Zeus, and thou, O Destiny, Wherever your decrees have fixed my lot. I follow cheerfully; and, did I not, Wicked and wretched, I must follow still.[8]
Who'er yields properly to Fate is deemed Wise among men, and knows the laws of Heaven.[9]
And this third:
"O Crito, if it thus pleases the gods, thus let it be."[10]
"Anytus and Melitus may kill me indeed; but hurt me they cannot."[11]
