"Adversity's sweet milk, philosophy"
(Romeo and Juliet)
I have no idea of the context nor what it could mean.
But I like it all the same.
Maybe I just like the words together, they are quite beautiful.
"Most English-speaking people...will admit that cellar door is 'beautiful', especially if dissociated from its sense" (J. R. R. Tolkien)
Wow, a quote within a quote, I am getting good at this :p
What does this quote mean to you fine people?

In this context alone, I can only guess at couple possibilities
1. that "philosophy" is a way of coping with hard times
2. that hard times is a result of philosophy
Could also read those sentences replacing "philosophy" with "ones way of thinking"
These are my humble attempts to discern this text, there's a good probability that my translation is totally wrong.

How happy is the blameless vessle's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd.

another of my many favorites...
"I hold it true,what'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all."

from one of my favorite poems...pretty much sums up my life.
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken
