Dear Dr. Goodword,
Wanted you to know how much I use your 'Search' index for past words of the day. As a matter of fact, I search you before I Google the internet! Case in point...I was sent a quote that I needed help decoding and after I checked the words I was unsure about, I knew exactly what Seneca was trying to say:
ღ❤ღ°☼ღ❤ღ°☼ღ❤ღ°☼ღ❤ღ°☼ღ❤ღ°☼ღ❤ღ°☼ღ❤ღ°☼ღ❤ღ°☼ღ❤ღ°
“Happy the man who can endure the highest and the lowest fortune. He, who has endured such vicissitudes with equanimity, has deprived misfortune of its power.”
ღ❤ღ°☼ღ❤ღ°☼ღ❤ღ°☼ღ❤ღ°☼ღ❤ღ°☼ღ❤ღ°☼ღ❤ღ°☼ღ❤ღ°☼ღ❤ღ°
~Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman and dramatist, (4 B.C.-A.D. 65)~

Thanks Doc for all that you and your staff do to help those of us that are learning more and more!

I somehow don't recall seeing this post earlier, but here are links to the two words, as treated by the Good Doctor:

Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
