Vincenda est omnis fortuna ferendo: and so likewise Vincenda est omnis natura ferendo.
However, as my commander was absolute, his orders peremptory, and my obedience necessary, I resolved to avail myself of a philosophy which hath been of notable use to me in the latter part of my life, and which is contained in this hemistich of Virgil: Superanda omnis fortuna ferendo est.
