Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.
Do not seek for things to happen the way you want them to; rather, wish that what happens happens the way it happens: then you will be happy.
My formula for greatness in a human being is amor fati: that one wants nothing to be different, not forward, not backward, not in all eternity.
Amor fati: let that be my love henceforth! I do not want to wage war against what is ugly. I do not want to accuse; I do not even want to accuse those who accuse.
Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your soul.
