Quoted in German Mystical Writings: Hildegard of Bingen, Meister Eckhart, Jacob Boehme, and Others (1991), edited by Karen J. Campbell
“Pleasant it is, when over a great sea the winds trouble the waters, to gaze from shore upon another's great tribulation: not because any man's troubles are a delectable joy, but because to perceive from what ills you are free yourself is pleasant.”
Suave mari magno turbantibus aequora ventis
e terra magnum alterius spectare laborem;
non quia vexari quemquamst jucunda voluptas,
sed quibus ipse malis careas quia cernere suave est.
Lucretius (-94–-55 BC) Roman poet and philosopher
Book II, lines 1–4 (tr. Rouse)
