I am something of a stoic, both by nature and by inheritance. And I learned from the example of my father that the manner in which one endures what must be endured is more important than the thing that must be endured.

Dean Acheson (1893-1971) American statesman
(Attributed)

Quoted in Merle Miller, Plain Speaking: An Oral Biography of Harry S. Truman (1986)
