So ease or indigence depend on each man’s opinion: wealth, fame, and health all have no more beauty and pleasure than he who has them lends to them. For each man good or ill is as he finds. The man who is happy is not he who is believed to be so but he who believes he is so: in that way alone does belief endow itself with true reality.
