“Inconstancy is my very essence," says the wheel. "Rise up on my spokes if you like, but don’t complain when you are plunged back down into the depths. The good times pass away, but then, so do the bad. Mutability is our tragedy, but it’s also our hope. The worst of times, like the best, is always passing away.”
-- Boethius, The Consolation of Philosophy, 524 A.D.
