Ribiči
Some fishermen were hauling in a net. Finding it heavy, they rejoiced and danced, thinking they had made a great catch. But when they dragged it onto the shore, they found only a few fish, and the net full of stones and sand. They were bitterly disappointed, distressed less by what had happened than by the contrast with what they had expected. Then an old man among them said, “Come, friends, let us put an end to this. Sorrow, it seems, is joy’s sister; and after so much rejoicing, we were bound to have some grief as well.” So we too, seeing how changeable life is, should not expect to delight forever in the same good fortune, but remember that after a long spell of fair weather, a storm must come.

Ἁλιεῖς σαγήνην εἷλκον· βαρείας δʼ αὐτῆς οὔσης, ἔχαιρον καὶ ὠρχοῦντο, πολλὴν εἶναι νομίζοντες τὴν ἄγραν· ὡς δὲ ἑλκύσαντες ἐπὶ τὴν ᾐόνα τὸν μὲν ἰχθὺν ὀλίγον εὗρον, λίθων δὲ καὶ ἄμμων μεστὴν τὴν σαγήνην, οὐ μετρίως ἐβαρυθύμουν, οὐχ οὕτω μᾶλλον ἐπὶ τῷ συμβεβηκότι δυσφοροῦντες, ὅσον ὅτι καὶ τὰ ἐναντία προσειλήφασιν. Εἷς δέ τις ἐν αὐτοῖς γηραιὸς ὤν εἶπεν ,,ἀλλὰ παυσώμεθα, ὦ ἑταῖροι· χαρᾶς γὰρ ὡς ἔοικεν ἀδελφή ἐστιν ἡ λύπη· καὶ ἡμᾶς ἔδει τοσαῦτα προησθέντας πάντως τι καὶ λυπηθῆναι.“
Ἀτὰρ οὖν καὶ ἡμᾶς δεῖ τοῦ βίου τὸ εὐμετάβλητον ὁρῶντας μὴ τοῖς αὐτοῖς ἀεὶ πράγμασιν ἐπαγάλλεσθαι, λογιζομένους, ὅτι ἐκ πολλῆς εὐδίας ἀνάγκη καὶ χειμῶνα γενέσθαι.
