Lucky the sailor who flees
From storm into port
Lucky the man who rides
Above all his cares,
In one way or another
Surpasses in riches and power.
There are always a thousand hopes
For a thousand mortals, and some
Hopes are crowned with success;
Others run into sand.
To me the one who is lucky
Is he who day by day lives happy.
-Euripides: The Bacchae
