"What can't be cured must be endured," and "it is hard to kick against the pricks."

I determined not to fly in the face of the publisher, and to bear -- what I could not cure -- his arrogance and vanity. At present, at the conclusion of nearly a quarter of a century, I am glad that I came to that determination, which I did my best to carry into effect.
