Bear the inevitable with dignity. [ Streckfuss ]
There is no good in arguing with the inevitable. [ Lowell ]
The inevitable consequence of poverty is dependence. [ Johnson ]
Sometimes we must have love, either as a desirable good or an inevitable evil. [ Bussy-Rabutin ]
Fame comes only when deserved, and then it is as inevitable as destiny, for it is destiny. [ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ]
The evil which one suffers patiently as inevitable seems insupportable as soon as he conceives the idea of escaping from it. [ De Tocqueville ]
So many of our dreams first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable. [ Christopher Reeve ]
Every thought and word and deed, of every human being, is followed by its inevitable consequence: for the one we are responsible; with the other we have nothing to do. [ Gail Hamilton ]
Against specious appearances we must set clear convictions, bright and ready for use. When death appears as an evil, we ought immediately to remember that evils are things to be avoided, but death is inevitable. [ Epictetus ]
Rely on principles; walk erect and free, not trusting to bulk of body, like a wrestler, for one should not be unconquerable in the sense that an ass is. Who then is unconquerable? He whom the inevitable cannot overcome. [ Epictetus ]
Equality is deemed by many a mere speculative chimera, which can never be reduced to practice. But if the abuse is inevitable, does it follow that we ought not to try at least to mitigate it? It is precisely because the force of things tends always to destroy equality that the force of the legislature must always tend to maintain it. [ Rousseau ]
