thanks for sharing, these morals are simple and universal

 

[High Priestess Lydia Coventina]

The Traveler and Fortune
A TRAVELER wearied from a long journey lay down, overcome with
fatigue, on the very brink of a deep well. Just as he was about
to fall into the water, Dame Fortune, it is said, appeared to him
and waking him from his slumber thus addressed him: "Good Sir,
pray wake up: for if you fall into the well, the blame will be
thrown on me, and I shall get an ill name among mortals; for I
find that men are sure to impute their calamities to me, however
much by their own folly they have really brought them on
themselves."

Everyone is more or less a master of their own fate.

This one in particular is great, you see it happen all the time. Thanks for posting these

This brought tears to my eyes. I remember reading these as a child.
