From Marcus Aurelius

“15. Remember that, as it is monstrous to be surprised at a fig-tree bearing figs, so also is it to be surprised at the Universe bearing its own particular crop. Likewise it is monstrous for a physician or a steersman to be surprised that a patient has fever or that a contrary wind has sprung up.”

Excerpt From: Emperor of Rome Marcus Aurelius. “Meditations.”
