In re mala, animo si bono utare, adiuvat.

It is good to keep up our spirits under misfortunes and to use our endeavours to mitigate or remove them, or if that cannot be done to bear them with patience, which will of itself, in time, make them more tolerable and easy; as is expressed in the following, Fortitur ferendo vincitur malum quod evitare non potest, and by the English adage, what can't be cured, must be endured, or of a bad bargain we should make the best,

«Of all those sorrows that attend mankind,
With patience bear the lot to thee assign'd;
Nor think it chance, nor murmur at the load;
For know, what man calls fortune, is from God».
